Ground ostrich combines the health benefits of poultry with the flavor and versatility of ground beef.
Although this flavorful meat is considered poultry, ostrich is more like grass-fed beef than chicken or turkey. In fact, it tastes more like beef too—with a flavor similar to prime beef! Ostrich meat has a sweeter and richer taste than other meats.
Ostrich meat has additional benefits beyond its flavor. It is very low in fat and cholesterol, even lower than skinless chicken, while offering a high iron content, making it a great beef-alternative for those watching their weight. Also, this lower fat content means that there is less shrinkage during the cooking process (less raw meat needed per serving) and the meat will cook faster.
Store frozen ostrich meat in your freezer until you're ready to use it, then defrost as many packs as you need.

Use as you would ground beef, being careful because ostrich cooks very quickly. Ostrich burgers, ostrich meat balls, ostrich pasta sauces, ostrich lasagna, ostrich tacos, ostrich meatloaf, the sky’s the limit.
