What fat content in extra lean mince would be free on the original plan
Until recently Morrisons beef mince said extra lean but when you looked at the nutritional info it was 7% fat and so not syn free. I believe that is being changed to 5% just now though xx
And unfortunately not all turkey mince is free even if less than 5% fat - asda is only 3% but is still synned

I was just going to say about turkey. It was a tip picked up from biggest loser. Turkey mince is nasty stuff, it's essentially all the skin and fats that have come out of the rendering process mixed in with the off cuts etc and ground up together. Turkey breast mince however is probably the leanest mince you can find at less than 1% fat. Look out for turkey leg mince. Not as lean as turkey bast, but not as bad as 'turkey' mince. Turkey leg has a much stronger taste.
Our C gave us a tip last week that to save money rather than buying expensive Extra lean mince, you can buy the cheaper lean mince, then put the mince (uncooked) in a colander/Sieve and pour boiling water over it and wash through. Apparently this drains nearly all the fat off it and then when you cook as normal its extra lean!
That sounds minging Hun. Not only would it would take the taste of the flavour away but it's not something you should be doing. I'd much rather spend abit extra and buy the correct mince. Your C is giving out incorrect advice there Hun xxxOur C gave us a tip last week that to save money rather than buying expensive Extra lean mince, you can buy the cheaper lean mince, then put the mince (uncooked) in a colander/Sieve and pour boiling water over it and wash through.
