Ground turkey--Jennie O Vs. Honeysuckle?

I have bought a lot of Honeysuckle All White ground turkey this last year and been happy with it.  I see the Jennie O brand and it also has very low fat ground turkey, but I've never tried it.

 

So I thought I'd see here if you have tried both and what you think about the two brands.  I'm not a big fan of turkey but I've been pleased with the Honeysuckle which does not have a strong turkey taste.

 

Thanks for any input!

I prefer Honeysuckle all white ground turkey. The color is better, and I think it has a better taste. I am very particular about any meats, but especially chicken and turkey.

I've used Jennie O ground turkey 85% lean as a substitute for ground beef for ages. I use it for chili, tacos and spaghetti sauce. I can spice it up as I like and it's budget friendly under $4/lb here.

 

While I used to purchase all white meat ground turkey from the butcher, it's so dry it cooks up like hockey pucks.

I do not care for Jenny O at all.  Tastes fake.

We use all white ground turkey, put seasoning in it for meatload or taco salad, add beef broth and tomato for a lot of taco or chili seasoning.  The honeysuckle brand has been good fixed that way.  Also as turkey chili or turkey beef chili.
