KOU In3 said:It depends on your goals. Although I don't have the real science behind it (hangs head in shame) there is some degree of 'magic' to red meat when bulking. Almost any bodybuilder will tell you to eat lean red meat off season for mass building.
Tukey has trypotophans. Maybe I'm nearotic but I avoid it as a meal a few hours before rolling.
Healthwise, red meat is 'bad' for you. As far as simply being 'healthy' you'd be better off consuming red meat very rarely.
That's all that springs to mind now. Hope it helps.

Good post. I actually thought the turkey had more protien.

In any event, the lean gound beef is going to have the same or less fat as cooked ground turkey, but will probably have a little more saturated fat than the turkey. The beef has more protein. 90% ground lean beef gives you around 27g per 3 oz. the turkey gives you around 21-23g. Also, if you're watching your cholesterol, think the beef is better to go with.
You'd probably be interested in this (shows how to drain fat from regular ground beef to make it less fattening than lean beef - saves you money):
