Plant-based protein is all about having options: the option to make a dish that will satisfy meat-eaters and non meat-eaters alike, the option to engage in the occasional meatless Monday, the option to enjoy a juicy burger, regardless of protein preference—we really could go on. So we think it’s only fitting that the scope of plant- based protein itself should be brimming with options, too. In this spirit of plant-based pluralism, we’re proud to introduce Trader Joe’s Turkeyless Ground, a superbly savory protein that evokes the flavor, texture, and with 21 grams per serving, protein content of ground turkey to seriously delicious degree.

Made from a meticulously measured blend of pea protein and textured wheat protein, our Turkeyless Ground is relatively light, lean, and holds onto spices, seasonings, and sauces with aplomb—just like regular ground turkey. That means it’s a particularly smart choice for making dishes like tacos, chili, shepherd’s pie, or spaghetti Bolognese. Since it cooks just like ground turkey, it can be used just like you would ground turkey, in stir fries, lasagnas, stuffed peppers, or hearty soups. And, of course, it also makes a spectacularly juicy burger, especially when seasoned with a bit of Mushroom & Company Umami Seasoning Blend.
