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:
“One need not be a great beau, a seductive catch, to do it effectively. Any man is better than none. To shrink from giving so much happiness at such small expense, to evade the business on the ground that it has hazards—this is the act of a puling and tacky fellow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Take two pounds of meat from the rump, boil three days in a deep kettle with the head of an axe, and, then, throw away the meat and eat the axe.”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
