Depends on how lean it is.

For some reason people automatically assume ground turkey is lean, but it's not.

Regular ground turkey has 22g of protein and 11g fat per 4oz.

That's about 53% calories from fat and 47% from protein.

i am reading the nutrition facts on the back of a package for a 4 oz. seving of 93-7%: it has 20g protein cooked and 21g raw... i am sure this may vary depending on how lean it is.....***edit ***just read shelby's post a little redundant sorry

as a general rule of thumb, 4 oz of chicken, steak, fish etc is about the size of a deck of playing cards..

i measured 1 cup on the scale in it was a shade under 6oz.....
i ballpark... 1oz of meat=6-7gm protein....

As dumb as this sounds, you can also read the back of the package. Typically the portions are measured in 4oz serving sizes and it will give you a general idea of what you are looking at macro nutrient wise.

Lean ground turkey is about the same calorie wise as 93/7 ground sirloin. It's also about the same fat content too. They do make a very lean ground turkey breast but it's insanely dry when cooked. I add more water to the skillet when I cook it and it keeps it moist. I myself would rather stick with either Redbird ground chicken or Whole Foods has very lean ground chicken that just seems more flavorfull to me.

You should be measuring weight, not volume. It should also be the cooked weight, not raw.
