Yes, it's good to see Michael is Backkk!

I grind meat about 4-5 times a year, to stock the freezer with ground beef and
pork. Some days I devote to making sausage, a whole nother procedure. I don't
grind turkey, is tastes terrible, but I often buy skinless-boneless chicken
breasts when they're on sale, usually $1.99/lb and grind that with seasonings
and veggies into chicken sausage meat... excellent for stuffing pasta or just
making small meatballs to place in soups... also chicken croquettes are
scrumptous. Naturally I also grind fresh fish, season, form into pattys, and
freeze... fortunately I still have my Lung Guyland seafood connections.

I really don't see the big inconvenience in grinding ones own meats.
