Yep. I remember making turkey burgers using recipes from 'Cooking Light'
magazine in the mid-1980's. It's certainly not a new concept, nor one that
just popped up in 90's. IIRC, it was in the 90's people started realizing
ground turkey contained so much fat it wasn't the "healthful" thing
originally thought, and by then the price was on par with ground beef so
there was no reason (economically) to buy it instead.
