Tip
When recipes call for ground turkey or chicken, why not make your own? If you have a food processor, it will only take a min.-and you can control the fat content. Use skinless, boneless breasts, and you’ll have the leanest grind possible. Cut into 1″ cubes and pulse several times until evenly ground.
