We use 90%-lean ground beef, which means it has about 10% fat and 90% lean meat. It's best to stick with this type: We chose this percentage of fat so that you don't end up with a dry burger—it's just enough fat to keep the burger juicy, but not so much that you end up with a greasy, dripping mess.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
Yes, but be prepared to possibly have a drier burger, since ground turkey tends to be about 93% lean and 7% fat<\/a>. If you're looking for a specific burger recipe using ground turkey, try our Turkey Burgers with Spinach, Feta & Tzatziki<\/a>. This recipe uses frozen spinach in the burger to help prevent it from drying out too much.<\/p>"
