What Can I Substitute For Ground Beef?

Ground poultry meat is a great option if you are trying to stick to a lower calorie diet or are cutting back on saturated fats. You can certainly substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for ground beef in these recipes. Just keep in mind that ground poultry is lower in saturated fat than even lean ground beef, so you may get a dryer result. Check the recipe card and the comments section for tips on how to get best results when using a substitute in your favorite ground beef recipe. 

Dinner ideas with ground beef and potatoes will always be a winner!
