Good ole American style food

Just curious if anyone knows where to buy ground turkey meat. I've been lucky enough to find ground beef without pork...but no ground turkey.

You could ask a nice butcher to make it for you (mine will provide lamb mince upon request for example) but it is probably more worth your while buying either a mincing attachment for a food processor (if you have one) or using a hand mincer.
Ground/minced beef is easy to find if you go to an actual butcher, not just ALDI/LIDL/Penny (who sometimes stock it too) with Tatar being the steak mince.
Kind of thing you be looking for would be this.
German name for them is a Fleischwolf.

Any large kitchenware department, Küstermann, ironmongers will stock them. Fachelmann make the really basic plastic ones (with metal machinery of course) if you won't be using it for that long.
Or try ebay.
Some also have sausage making attachments (usually the electrical ones).
Just don't try to do it with a normalfood processor - you want mince not slurry.

we ran into this problem a month or so ago. we must not have found a nice butcher because the ones that we asked, stared as if the words "ground" and "turkey" would summon the devil if spoken together. anyhoo, you can find some pakaged under the "gutfried" label at either Kaufhof or Karstadt (sorry- i forget which one it was.)

Ah my butcher likes me, think it is because I'll ask him for more interesting things than just Schnitzel.

I've seen it before in Kaufhof but not often and it seemed to have quite a few additives in there too.

I'm sorry, but that's a disgusting name for a meat company. I don't really want to know what's in the meat if it's that gross.

Like Katrina, I'd simply ask a butcher to put a load of turkey meat through a mincer - but I wanna know why minced turkey is "good ole american style food"? What are you gonna do with it?

Turkey loaf, turkey burgers, etc., etc...

Wouldn't it be a little dry? Unless you mixed it with pork fat of course.

I used to cook with a lot of Turkey meat in the US, it can get a bit dry by itself but works fine in casseroles, pies and such where a sauce is involved. Used it for "italian" meatballs as well. If I had thought about it though, probably would have added some schweine fat, just for fun.

Thank you everyone so much for the help. Actually looking for ground turkey as an alternative to some meals to cut out fat, like chili for example. Just gotta find a nice butcher now...

WalMart sells it... the one south of Munich, that is.
