Turkey Burritos

The filling for this recipe can be stuffed into a burrito, as it is here, or spooned into crispy taco shells. Either way, it's delicious. When served with Spanish rice, it's an easy fun dinner.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 burrito)

Ingredients
Cooking spray
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons bottled salsa
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup (4 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese
Preparation
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook for 3 minutes or until onion and garlic are tender, stirring frequently. Add ground turkey breast, and cook mixture for 10 minutes or until the turkey is browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in the water and the next 5 ingredients (water through chopped green chiles). Cover mixture and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.

Warm flour tortillas according to the package directions. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons Mexican blend cheese down the center of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup turkey mixture; roll up.

I make something called Mexican Casserole. Its really easy and so yummy. My husband loves it.

1 lb ground turkey
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can mexican corn (can use frozen if you want)
1 packet low sodium taco seasoning
1 box of whole grain noodles (anykind)

Brown turkey, meanwhile boil noodles. Once noodles are done, drain both noodles and turkey. Combine all ingrediants together and voila! One of our favorite dishes.

Ground turkey burgers are great, but do require some doctoring up to make them moist and flavorful. For a Southwestern version I combine the meat with one egg, shredded pepper jack cheese, finely chopped red onion and cilantro. Serve with salsa and a spoon of guacamole. For a Mediterranean version, I blend the meat with one egg, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, finely chopped red onion, a minced garlic clove and sometimes chopped kalamata olives. Serve with a bit of plain yogurt and a tomato-cucumber salad.

Turkey Meatloaf!

I am using minced turkey for the first time tonight and making a chilli.

Use ground turkey and turkey sausage to make a chili. Load it up with chopped veggies like carrots, celery, and onions to also help boost nutritional value.

Also, turkey meatballs. Mix 1 lb of turkey with fresh dill, finely chopped garlic, onion, mushrooms, and reduced fat co-jack cheese. Sprinkle in poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper (all ingredients are too your taste, no exact measurements). Roll into mini balls or sliders and fry in a pan of extra virgin olive oil. I usually eat with a sliced up tomato, yummy!

I have found that kids can be difficult to trick @ times but this one had my 9 yr. old & my 15 yr. old fooled. I stuffed yellow, orange & red peppers (the yellow, orange & red pepper help with the flavors) with 1/3 ground chicken, 1/3 ground turkey & 1/3 ground beef. I could have cut the beef out but they would have caught it. The beef was enough to give it taste and keep it moist. I added alittle extra seasoning than I would have if the meat was all beef. I used alittle Italian breadcrumbs and egg whites to help give the filling so texture. Poured a spoon of sauce over the peppers & baked.

They are really good.

One thing my daughter loves is meatloaf! I read a recipe in a magazine that would help make your kids eat more veggies, to make bite sized meat loafs using a muffin tin! Chop up some veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and whatever else you might like and put them in the meatloaf, then portion it out into a muffin tin! They are fun and delish! Of course use your ground turkey in place of beef!

I make black bean and ground turkey burgers, as well as turkey meatloaf. I finely shred some sort of veggies in both. Either zuchinni or yellow squash, or carrot if I don't have those on hand. It's great, cause the kiddos don't even know the veggie is in there, and they love it!

Got a recipe for the black bean gand ground turkey burgers? That sounds sooooo good!

Hey! Here's my black bean and turkey burger recipe! You can alter easily to taste too, and whatever veggie you have on hand

3/4 C canned black beans, rinse and drain
1 egg white
1/2 C shredded zucchini (or yellow squash or carrot, both work great)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 lb ground turkey
I've added bread crumbs before too, usually 1/4 C at most for consistency and holding it all together power.

Mash the black beans coarsely, or to whatever consistency your family prefers. Add everything else. A tip about the vegetable : I shred really fine, so that once mixed, you can't even tell it's in there.....it passes by my 4 year old and 34 year old every time! Also, squeeze some of the moisture out cause you'll get a lot when shredding. But some is fine, it helps keep the burgers moist.

Mix together really well and form into patties! Then I cook on a frying pan using some Pam cooking spray, though I've also used oil. I tended to use a meat thermometer in the beginning, but I cook them so much I've gotten used to knowing when they're done. Then add whatever regular burger stuff you want!

They freeze really well, and cook from frozen really well too. I usually double the recipe (which says it serves 4 as written above) and freeze half. I can get 8-10 patties depending on how big I make them from an entire 20oz pack of the turkey.

Enjoy!

Yum! Thank you, I'm going to make these this week

I make a turkey casserole,


brown 1 lb turkey, with 1 chopped onion and what ever seasoning you wish (i like mccormiks montreal chicken)
put into a 9 x 13 casserole dish,
add a can of corn (drained)
top with mashed potatoes (i make them from scratch using smartbalance instead of butter and fat free milk, but you can use instant)
top with reduced fat cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
bake at 350 until cheese is melted

its super easy, and really really good! It is supposed to be made with hamburger, but i substitute turkey in everything, except meatloaf (i did try it, and thought it was gross!)

My kids love turkey chili or homemade turkey sloppy joes!

Myschelle

We love turkey and black bean nachos. Cook and season turkey, add black beans. Put mix ontop of your fav "healthy" tortilla (or salsa sun chips), sprinkle with mexican cheese. Heat until cheese is melted. Serve with rotels (chili/tomatoes) or salsa. Enjoy!

I make these good sausage patties. I take a pound of ground turkey, 2 apples, grated, sage and cayenne pepper. I mix it all up and make them into sausage patties. I love those things!
