There are so many different labels out there. It depends on what meat of the turkey is used, skin, etc. Same for beef for fat content. Turkey saves a few calories.

Turkey needs about 3 times the seasoning than beef to get some flavor to it (IMO) but in chili or taco salad that's not a biggie. Burgers... might mix the two but probably not. I've made turkey meat loaf. That's where I learned you need a lot more spices than you use with beef.

Bottom line, nutritionally speaking, the info online pretty much agrees on this:

Ground Beef (80% Lean / 20% fat)
Fat 15g, Calories 235, Saturated Fat 5.8g, Cholesterol 85 g

Ground Turkey (92% Lean / 8% fat)
Fat 11g, Calories 200, Saturated Fat 2.9g, Cholesterol 87 g

Of course you can buy leaner beef and ground turkey that is less lean and come up with closer numbers.

I never buy ground turkey that isnt 99% lean,,,,,,,pointless imo. I would go with a 90% beef instead,,,,,,,for tacos and or chilli I always use ground turkey breast and I think its the bomb,,,,,,if you are going to grill,,,,,skip the ground turkey or use a frying a pan, heat up oil first, add little egg, salt, pepper and whatever flaots your boat and the juice will stay in,,,,,,,

I LOVE ground turkey as a burger, but I usually have to eat a sample of cooked turkey burger before I prepare it and eventually dress it like a hamburger. I have a habit of being seriously disappointed for not wrapping my head around the difference in taste before hand

I dont eat red meat but I do cook it for family and friends.. so my choice of ground meat is turkey or chicken. It is more bland than beef but nothing a few choice spices cant remedy. You can throw in a few beef or chicken bouillion cubes for extra flavor.

I love making the chicken burgers.. grinding the meat myself. They freeze well and when you reheat them in the microwave it's like the came straight of the pit.
