Gah.  We eat ground turkey at least 2x/week.   :'(

The Consumer Reports investigation involved ground turkey, but this is really more of a general meat issue: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/17/business/report-on-us-meat-sounds-alarm-on-superbugs.html

I'm guessing you actually cook a turkey burger more thoroughly than you would a burger made of ground beef so you might be better off. But I think recent studies make it clear that you should probably assume that all meat you bring into your house is contaminated and handle/cook it properly.

And, whenever possible, support vendors who choose to use antibiotics in a responsible manner (i.e. to treat disease, not to get their product to market more quickly).

I do always check with a meat thermometer, so that makes me feel better.  Mostly.   :D

Some All of these recipes look so good!

If you buy clean meat in the first place, you can be less scrupulous.  I bought this year's beef from a farm where they take very good care of the products.  So if I want to eat my hamburger rare or even uncooked, I don't have any particular reason not to.  The same meat from the local grocery store?  I would be cooking that stuff to a nice shade of gray.
