TIP # 27 - Switch Out A Meal or Two of Ground Beef With Ground Turkey
I've heard this one many times. And let me tell you, in some dishes, you barely notice the difference in taste! I usually use ground turkey in chili and casseroles.
According to Fat Secret, 3 oz of Extra Lean Ground Beef is 208 Calories vs. 3.9 oz of Extra Lean Ground Turkey having 120.
You can see that it's less calories for more ground turkey and this can add up to a lost pound in time!
I've tried this before. My husband has a real problem with white meatloaf and white chili. The only place I've fooled him before is in tacos. I actually mixed 1/2 beef and 1/2 turkey. He claimed he knew something was different, but I don't think he did.
