Ground Turkey Allowed On SBD??????

[suziq7575]

Is ground turkey allowed on the first phase of SBD?

I would have to say yes, from all I have read as long as it is breast/white meat it should be okay.Same with chicken, no dark meat.

Thank you for your help. I thought so too, but I couldn't find anywhere that said whether it is allowed or not. Under beef, it says ground sirloin is allowed, but I want to eat as little red meat as possible. I want to get some ground turkey so I can make some dishes my husband will eat too - like turkey meatloaf (no bread of course) or stuffed cabbage (no rice of course). I will make sure I REALLY read the label!

Hi Suziq7575, I make this for my husband too. I usually use the regular ground turkey cuz its not as dry as the ground turkey breast. I still lost weight. But the other day i used the breast and instead of bread i used mushrooms, put them in a food processor. You can't taste them at all and it makes it not so dry. Hope this helps.

That sounds like a GREAT idea!!!! I will have to try it!! i want to be VERY careful on phase 1 because all I have to lose is 10 pounds, so I know it won't be easy!!! BUT I do have a lot of support from my husband. I thought I would put eggs, chopped onion, tomato juice or canned tomatos in the blender into the ground turkey too!

We raise our own beef and our hamburger is pretty lean. I just brown it then rinse it in how water in a collander and most of the grease rinses off. I do the same with ground turkey or chicken if it is not to lean.

I thought the book says poultry is better than beef, and I tend to buy very lean ground turkey - you can buy it in a dozen versions of fat-ness. I am sure lean turkey should be approved.

I've ONLY used regular ground turkey. Dry meat just doesn't cut it! :)
