High-Protein Turkey Recipes
High-protein turkey recipes, leaner than beef without giving up flavor.
Turkey recipes here run 23g to 38g of protein per serving, across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ground turkey does a lot of the work, an easy swap into recipes that would otherwise default to ground beef or pork.
It's generally leaner than the same cut of beef, though how much leaner depends on the blend, since ground turkey ranges from very lean to fattier depending on what's on the label. That's worth checking rather than assuming, the same way the macros on every recipe here are calculated from the actual ingredients, not a generic assumption about the protein.
