Ground meat (usually called mince or sometimes minced meat outside North America) is meat finely chopped by a meat grinder or a chopping knife.
A common type of ground meat is beef mince, but many other meats are prepared ground in a similar fashion, including pork, lamb, and poultry. In South Asia both lamb (mutton) and goat meat are also minced to produce keema, though the process of mincing is manual. Turkey burgers are relatively popular in the US, especially among dieters.

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or meat:
“On every tree a bucket with a lid,
And on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow.
The sparks made no attempt to be the moon.
They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Personal columnists ... are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat—no matter who killed the meat for him.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
