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.
