    I'm in need of the same thing!
    I'm thinking of switching up a recipe that I've made beofe with Italian Turkey Sausage and using just regular ground turkey and adding my own spices.

    Browned Ground Turkey
    Italian Seasonings & Crushed Red Pepper
    Sliced Onion
    Sliced Peppers (Green, Red, or Yellow)
    Diced Tomatoes (canned, no salt added)
    Tomato Sauce (no salt added)

    Cook it all up in the pan and then top over Quinoa or any Rice/Potato you like.

    I have no idea how healthy it was, but the wife made some chili with ground turkey. Very tasty.

    Ground Turkey
    Turkey Flavored Stuffing (One Box)
    1/2 cup Chicken Stock

    Mix together, even divide amoung 12 muffin tins at 350 for about 25 minutes.

    Can't get much easier and yummier than that. It's my Junkfood addicted DH's favorite.

    I put chopped up jalapenos and some light shredded cheese mixed in and then grill them like burgers. You can add egg white to hep it stick together. It is really good with or without a bun!

    Turkey Tacos! get a packet of low sodium taco mix your favorite healthy taco toppings (i like lettuce, tomatoes, a little cheese, maybe some salsa, whatever tickles your fancy). pretty simple to do :)

    Turkey & Mixed Bean Chilli
    Turkey Mince
    Tin of Mixed Beans (Red Kidney, Chickpeas, Cannellini Beans, etc.)
    Salsa
    Chillies
    Whatever else you might often add to a chilli, I often include diced onion, garlic and possibly mushroom.

    Usually eat a small bowl with warmed wholemeal pita bread.

    I have THE BEST recipe for you for ground turkey (well, in my opinion); it's a pizza and it's completely free of sugar and flour, and it's to die for!!!
    The crust is where you'll find the ground turkey; here is the recipe for the crust and you can top it however you'd like. Enjoy :) I'll try to post a pic of the one I made, too.

    1/4 cup old fash­ioned oats
    1/2 tsp bak­ing pow­der
    1/4 tsp ground flaxseed
    4 oz ground lean turkey

    The turkey gets mixed in UNCOOKED (that's what makes it gooey).
    Bake the crust alone for 5 minutes each side at 350 degrees
    Top it and bake an additional 10-15 min
    I used fat free cottage cheese and a little feta as my cheese...

    I make my chili with ground turkey also. I find it to be just as tasty, and I figure its healthier, since the only ingredients I add after then contain no fat.
