Ground turkey recipes?

scrappingchick72

Our family uses ground turkey for spaghetti, chili, tacos and burritos. However we are getting bored with all of those things every week. Does anyone have any good recipes to use with ground turkey? I want to change it up a little. Any suggestions/recipes?

I make turkey ranch cheddar burgers. The recipe is 1 package lean ground turkey, a dry ranch dressing packet and 1 cup of reduced fat cheddar cheese. Makes 6 burgers. To maintain the healthiness we eat them on whole weat sandwich things lightly toasted. They're delicious and easy.

turkey tikki masala over roasted butternut squash! i don't have an exact recipe for it, just make a tikki masala sauce, throw a package of ground turkey in there and serve it over roasted butternut squash. caramelize some onions and throw those in to make it extra delicious.

I'm actually making taco salad with my mom tonight with our ground turkey

Before that I was wavering between making meatballs or hamburger patties (I would add some yummy veggies and spices into both of these)

I love it in chili too! I also have made ground turkey meatballs.I make them with egg whites and whole wheat bread crumbs to try and up the health factor. I like these done quite mild and with a lot herbs like tarragon and sage. I just spray a cookie tray with a teeny bit of oil and bake them at about 375. I serve them with egg noodles or rice (I have a picky child) and some fresh veggies. Steamed asparagus for me and carrots for the kiddo.

Yes these are very tasty. I use the spicy ranch mix sometimes as well.

With squash from the garden, I make up a huge batch of squash patties for the freezer. They are low in calories, fat, etc., and can be used as a main dish or in a "better than a burger" sandwich. To get the recipe, go to: http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/183399/Squash-Patties

I use ground turkey to make an italian turkey casserole.

I use noodles, a couple of vegetables, broth, mozzerella cheese, italian seasonings, and sofrito all mixed together in a casserole dish. Then crush ritz crackers drizzled with butter for the topping. Bake at 350 about 20 minutes until bubbly and brown. My boys love it! (I cover with foil until the last 5 minutes to keep it from getting too dark too quick.)

For dinner tonight I made a turkey pot pie with ground turkey, vegetables (we chose carrots, green beans, corn, and lima beans) with broth, a can of cream of chicken - next time I'm planning to use greek yogurt instead, I remembered too late), sofrito, boiled eggs sliced across the top, and a dough topping. Yummmo!

I also use ground turkey to make empanadas, 15 bean soup, anything! Hope that was a couple of ideas for you

This serves 2

Ingredients:

cooking spray
1/2 lb. ground turkey
2 carrots, diced
1 large onion, diced
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 c. sun dried tomatoes, diced
1/4 c. low sodium tomato sauce
4 oz. whole wheat pasta (I used Pappardelle's Whole Wheat Garlic Linguine)
1/4 c. part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 c. cheese slices, chopped (I used 4 slices of new Sargento's ultra thin provolone)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450.

1. Heat up a large saucepan on medium-high. Spray with cooking spray. Add in ground turkey and break up with wooden spoon. Saute 5 minutes. Add onions, carrots, black pepper, Italian seasonings, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes. Saute 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile cook pasta according to the package directions.

3. Add the tomato sauce to the turkey mixture.

4. Add in cooked pasta, ricotta cheese, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Mix well.

5. Spray a 9x13 pan. Pour in pasta mixture and top with cheese. Bake 15 minutes uncovered or until golden brown.

p.s. the pasta I used is kind of green so that's why the color is kind of weird.

Wow, all these sound amazing. I'm saving all these recipes as we speak. So I have to tell ya, my husband is a bit picky when it comes to certain foods. I could always omit the Ranch in the turkey burger for him. LOL.

You guys are amazing. I'm so glad I belong to this site. Thanks again! :flowerforyou:
