St00pid food question

[Deja Q]

I can buy a pound of lean ground turkey mfor $1.87/pound. (who is it that abbreviated "lb" when "pd" or even "pu" seems to be more apropos?)

Anyway, as buying one gigantic lump of turkey breast seems cheaper; is there a disadvantage of buying that and shoving it through the meat grinder? (it'd look different than the packaged ground turkey, which is pink)

I also apologize to Vegans; no offense is meant.

1. Turkey breast is TOO lean.

It would dry out and stick to the pan, unless you used LOTS of oil. Which sorta defeats the purpose of the whole "lean" thing.

The ground turkey in the package is pink because there's a lot of leg meat in there, too. If you just want to put the breast through the grinder, I'd suggest adding a little bit of pork or beef fat (if you eat pork or beef). That would be even cheaper than a turkey leg. Just make sure you don't add too much fat -- again, don't want to defeat the whole purpose of it.
