Are those of you who find turkey gamey tasting getting wild turkey? Because the farm-raised stuff I buy in the grocery store is close to tasteless.0

Kangaroo is delicious, quite similar to Vension, I find. Very lean, so you can't really cook a steak past medium rare without it being tough, but stews down nicely. It's also super cheap.0 -
I personally don't like more than 93% lean. Very bland and dry. So I'd first make sure to try 93% max lean. It doesn't taste as good as beef to me either, but I find heavily seasoning it with herbs and/or Italian seasoning and some garlic powder (or fresh) helps. If you can add some fresh herbs even better. Fresh basil does wonders for poultry.0

I don't like ground turkey either....it's not like you have to eat it.
We bought turkey breakfast sausage. I really wanted to throw it out but husband insisted we eat it. Managed to toss out the leftovers when he wasn't looking.0 -
I make greek turkey burgers. Add crumble feta cheese, spinach, salt and pepper.0

I've never had store bought ground turkey that tasted gamey; wild turkey yes, but not the typical Jennie-O or Butterball that you can buy in the US. Like others have said, it's usually pretty bland so I use it when I can add spices (tacos, spaghetti sauce, chili, etc).
I have done a couple of turkey burgers but you need to make sure you're not getting the super lean as they will dry out quicker. I just did one the other week that was Greek inspired - turkey, diced red onion, parsley, crumbled goat cheese, and a palmful of a Greek seasoning blend I had in the pantry. Mixed the ingredients together and formed the patties while on lunch break, covered the plate and chilled them until the evening. Was planning on grilling them outside but mother nature decided that we needed a line of thunderstorms rolling thru all evening so I cooked them in a skillet with a little oil to give them additional moisture and prevent sticking. Another one that we've done is a version of a Juicy Lucy using Brie and topped with grilled granny smith apple slices.0
