With 96mg/100g of purine, Turkey Ground falls into the moderate category — fine occasionally, but not an everyday staple for gout. Among meats, purine levels vary significantly by cut — lean muscle cuts generally have less purine than fatty or organ cuts. Turkey Ground falls at the mid end of that range. When preparing Turkey Ground, boiling or stewing and discarding the cooking water can reduce purine content. Avoid charring or deep-frying, which add inflammatory compounds.
Turkey Ground should be eaten in moderation with gout. It contains 96mg of purine per 100g (moderate range: 50–150mg). It can be part of a gout-friendly diet, but keep portions reasonable and not daily.
Organ meats (liver, kidney, sweetbreads, tongue, brain) are particularly high in purines — among the worst foods for gout. All major guidelines recommend complete avoidance. [Source: Arthritis Foundation / Mayo Clinic / Cleveland Clinic]
Boiling or stewing meat and discarding the cooking liquid can reduce purine content. Water-soluble purines leach into the water during cooking — do not consume the broth if reducing purine intake.

A plant-forward diet with meat as a side — not the centerpiece — is the healthiest approach for gout. [Source: Mayo Clinic]
