At least with ground beef in the parts of the US that I've lived, you
know just how fatty it is (or claims to be), since it is a legal
requirement to put that on the label. Not so for ground turkey and
pork. If the label says something, I assume that has to be true, but
nothing is required. If the label says nothing more than "ground
turkey", I assume the worst. In fact, I don't buy it. And ground meat
on sale is often not a good deal either, in my experience. We have an
independent supermarket about a mile from our house, and buy much of our
meat there. It is quite a bit more expensive, but it's worth it. We
buy the "80%" beef, and it seems leaner and with less waste than stuff
labeled as having less fat at other stores.
