Default Alternative to Ground Beef?

I buy frozen ground turkey in a tube for $1.00 per pound. It is a little
above average in terms of quality and doesn't have much fat in it.

But I do agree with this. Ground turkey, when seasoned properly and used
in a recipe (i.e. not plain), is extremely close in taste to ground
beef. The texture is a little bit off which gives it away, but overall
it is just as good.
