    turkey burgers, meatloaf, taco salad, chili, meatballs.....anything you do with hamburger. I like the taco salad...lettuce, tomato, italian dressing, ground turkey and a little salsa on top! Very low cal!

    I use it to replace anything I can make with ground beef. Burgers, meat sauces, tacos, taco salads, chili, etc. :)

    I do the same as everyone else and sub for hamburger, but here is one of my favorites. It's a Weight Watchers recipe that is basically a deconstructed cabbage roll. Even better on day two! I recommend giving food.com a search for great recipes!

    One of my favorites is stuffed peppers.

    Cut the tops off the peppers and cook them in the oven at about 350 until (about 10 mins)
    Cook the ground turkey in a skillet.
    Cook up brown rice per directions.
    Take a few fresh tomatoes (or canned for ease) and heat them in a sauce pan until they are mushy. Add some white onion, the turkey, brown rice, chili powder, paprika and salt to taste.

    Fill the peppers with this mixture. It takes about 20 minutes total and I find it to be delicious.

    Turkey burger with cranberry chutney or cranberry sauce instead of ketchup, with your favourite crispy greens on a whole wheat bun.

    Turkey meatloaf is excellent.

    Turkey spaghetti sauce is pretty good too, and you can get very low fat, high in fibre, with tons of flavour!

    Anything you use Ground Beef for, you use ground turkey...if you want it as a burger, spice it up really good!
