    Ground turkey is great in traditional chili. No one can ever tell that it's not ground beef. When you are cooking it, add worstershire to "beef" it up a little.

    I got this recipe from my sister-in-law. We love this meal and eat it almost every other week.

    Chinese Goulash

    1lb ground turkey
    1 medium onion coarsely cut up
    8oz sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 cup fresh broccoli pieces
    1 bag shredded cabbage (cole slaw mix)
    1 beef gravy packet
    1cup of water
    soy sauce to taste

    Cook the ground turkey and onion in a large skillet. Once meat is fully cooked, add mushrooms and broccoli. Keep stirring so that it does not stick to pan. After mushrooms and broccoli look cooked (3mins), add shredded cabbage, gravy packet and water. Allow mixture to cook down. I serve this with brown rice. However, many times my husband will skip the rice and just eat the goulash.

    I substitute ground turkey in any recipe calling for ground beef. Tonight we are having spaghetti. The only thing I am not a fan of is ground turkey meatloaf.

Cook the chicken with (3) tbls chopped garlic. Add cooked chicken and rest of ingredients to 5 qt crockpot and cook on low 3 - 4 hours or longer.......depending on your dinner time. This makes 20 (1) cup servings at about 187 calories per cup.:bigsmile:

    My hubby raves about this one! You can use ground chicken, but I've always used ground turkey.

    I'm having turkey vegetable soup for dinner tonight.

    1 lb of ground turkey (seasoned, browned and drained)
    Canned or fresh veggies of your choice ( I use corn, green beans, carrots, onions, peas, and potatoes)
    1 small can of tomato paste (I don't like tomatoes so I don't use them in the soup, but typically it is tomato based)
    Put it all in a pot or crock pot, add some water, and let it simmer for at least an hour until the water thickens up

    Super yummy and super easy

    Tacos! Just follow the seasoning packet directions and sub turkey for beef.

    Check out my recipe for Taco Salad with ground turkey....

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/488271-taco-salad-with-homemade-taco-sauce

    My homemade taco sauce has 70-75% less sodium than those premade taco seasoning packets which have 330-400 mg of sodium per serving and 1200 mg per packet.

    Not only that, but the sauce is tastier and not as bland.

    You can also make spaghetti with whole grain spaghetti noodles and low sodium sauce.

    You can make meatloaf.

    Enchiladas (spray the bottom of a pan with cooking spray, layer mission small white corn tortillas, layer ground turkey seasoned with enchilada sauce and cooked with diced red onions , layer of tortillas and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced olives, and chopped jalapeno pepper. Cook in oven at 425 for 15 mins or until the cheese starts to brown)

    Sloppy Joes (follow insttructions on Manwich can)

    Stir Fry (season meat with 1/4 tsp chinese five spice and 2 tsp soy sauce, cook then add in bag of frozen stir fry vegetable mix and another 2 tsp soy sauce, layer on top of whole grain rice)

    Homemade egg rolls (sorry you have to find a recipe, not giving out my mom's LOL)

    Hope this helps.

    Ground turkey and green chile. It's delicious!

    I also use it in turkey chili that I make in a croc-pot. I just add whatever vegetables I have on hand and sometimes cook it with lentils instead of traditional kidney beans.

    Pretty much anything that you would put hamburger beef in you can use turkey.
