I don’t eat red meat, so only buy ground chicken or ground turkey. I have a few recipes on the regular rotation that use ground meat – tacos, turkey burgers or use it in spaghetti sauce. I’d love to win coupons, as I will definitely use them quickly.
I would love to try Ground chicken or turkey as it’s better for me but I haven’t yet
I actually made Ole ElPaso taco’s last night with ground chicken and my husband didn’t say anything about it, so I think I will be using it more often – I would love the coupons to help with this healthier life style change
I use these to make chicken meatballs. I’d love to win so I can try making your salad. I’ve loved all the recipes you have posted!

Y-u-m-m-y! Extra-lean chicken taco salad, turkey might be nice too but is often too dry, while ground beef is just.. ewwww 🙂

We had Maple Leaf ground chicken TONIGHT! I made “Teriyaki Chicken Cakes” – a family favourite. I LOVE ground chicken (and turkey!) and use it at least once a week, sometimes twice. These coupons would come in handy. I broke up with beef 9 years ago 🙂
Yep and I love it- probably use ground chicken more than the.. beef
WE have not use ground beef in over 5 years. Always subsittute with ground beef or turkey, now prefer that to beef. I trust prime to know that there is not a lot of filler and fat in their ground poultry products.
I have tried the turkey in many recipes, one of my fav’s is a spinach, feta turkey burger, love it.. it’s a great alternative to meat. I would love to win because these coupons would be a great savings with the grocery bill.
I made a mistake in above comment ” should read always subsitute with ground chicken or turkey”
Its been a long day, I know many of you will understand.
