This turkey burger recipe is one of the best I've ever had. Loooove making these:
http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/mexican-inspired-turkey-burgers
I'm drooling just thinking about them.
I make a very similar turkey burger and they're to die for! (I like adding a little more cumin and cheyene for a little kick)
Another good recipie is a turkey and vegetable skillet (http://www.fatsecret.com/recipes/turkey-and-vegetables-skillet/Default.aspx) that is ultra easy and delicious.0 -
Exactly!! Use turkey where ever you usually use hamburger. I like turkey becuase it's not as tough. Havent had hamburg in YEARS!!!Absolutely anything that you would cook with ground beef works with turkey. Turkey burgers and meatloaf require more seasoning. We've used it for tacos, spaghetti, lasagna, meatballs, chili, burgers, stroganoff.....
I make this mexican cassarole that my whole family loves...
1 lb + lean ground turkey
as much frozen or canned corn as you want
1 jar + chunky salsa (any kind)
add extra veggies like onions, peppers, or even chopped FRESH spinach if you want
A little taco sauce (any kind) to taste
SUPER EASY, and delish! great for easy lunches, minus the veggies, NO CARBS!0 -
Ground turkey goulash....
This sounds delicious, thanks for sharing!0 -
This sounds really good.
I can usually substitute ground turkey in anything. I just season it really well, and I add a dab of Worcestershire sauce. That usually does the trick. Like you, my best success has been in spaghetti, or any tomato based meal. However, I have made delicious turkey burgers, and chili.
I have been trying to use it in meatloaf, but so far that hasn't worked out. I would really appreciate any suggestions for that.0 -

Try making buffalo turkey burgers with Franks Hot Sauce and 1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Salad dressing mix (the powder stuff).....
Franks Hot Sauce has no calories. The Ranch has 80 calories per package..so spread out over a few servings you have something YUMMY....0 -

My favorite is Laarb...a Thai dish.
A traditional Thai dish, often eaten in butter lettuce cups. A blend of low-fat ground turkey seasoned with jalapenos, red onion, cilantro, fish sauce and fresh lime juice. Traditionally eaten cold, but I also enjoy it warm from the pan. Good for adding protein to your meal with a flavorful dish. Great for leftovers.
Ingredients:
Ground Turkey (93% lean)
Jalapenos (diced)
Red Onion (diced)
Cilantro (chopped)
Lime Juice
Fish Sauce
Brown 16 oz of Lean ground turkey in a pan (I add a little coconut oil). Add 2 diced jalapenos and red onion and continue to saute until japapeno is softened. While cooking, add 3-4T of fish sauce and 4-5T of fresh lime juice (1 whole lime squeezed). Remove from heat and add 1/2 -3/4 c cilantro. High protein and very flavorful meal.
Fish Sauce is high in sodium...you can test with reduced amounts to lower sodium content.0 -
I brown onion, garlic, in pam, add my ground turkey, bworn. After its all brown, (garlic and onion to taste, even bell pepper, I don't like bp. I add the peeled eggplant to the cooked ground turkey, add 4 or 5 peeled tomatoes, basil salt & pepper and cook until everything is cooked. you can put this over brown rice, rice, spaghetti, or plain. My family enjoys this very much.0

Bumping for ideas later. My husband and I love turkey chili!0

I use ground turkey in place of beef all the time...this is my family's favorite soup...mine too cuz it's low cal and soooo easy...
20 oz ground turkey browned
2 bags frozen mixed veggies (corn, carrots, beans, peas)
1 chopped onion
2 pounds cubed unpeeled red potatoes
1 lg jug low sodium V8 juice
1 small container (maybe 12 oz) chicken broth
A little garlic, red pepper, black pepper & whatever other spices sound fun
Throw it in the crockpot and cook till potatoes are done.
It's seriously under 100 calories per cup (85 if you keep the taters low) and 3 cups is a ton of food...this is pretty thick and chunky...makes about 4 quarts.0 -
I made some low-carb Sheppard's Pie using seasoned ground turkey instead of beef (and cauliflower for potatoes) was very good - it disappeared fast.
• 1 lb Seasoned Ground Turkey
• 1 c onion, chopped
• 1 med garlic clove
• 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (can be substituted with Olive Oil)
• 1.5 c sliced mushrooms
• 3oz shredded carrots, broken up
• 2/3 c Shredded Cheese (any type will work)
• 1 large head of cauliflower {use whole head instead of instant}
• 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• salt, pepper, basil, oregano to taste
Preheat oven to 375.
1) Chop up your cauliflower - doesn't have to be fine. Place in microwave safe bowl and cover. Microwave 8-10 min (1000 watt). Afterwards, place in a the cooked cauliflower in a blender or food processor and reduce to mush.
2) Place cooked cauliflower in large bowl with 1/3c of the shredded cheese and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
3) To a skillet, add the coconut oil, onion and garlic. Cook till onion becomes transparent. Remove from pan and add seasoned ground turkey.
4) Cook turkey till mostly browned, (draining any extra fat if you wish), add the onion & garlic mix back in. Add mushrooms, carrots, Worcestershire Sauce and spices. Finish cooking turkey through.
5) In a baking pan (12" x 12" glass) pour the turkey mixture. Cover with the mashed potatoes/cauliflower mix, making sure to cover all the meat mix.
6) Place in oven and cook for 30 min. Remove from oven and sprinkle the other 1/3c of shredded cheese on top and return to the oven for no more than 5 mins. The cheese needs to melt but shouldn't start to blacken.
7) Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 mins.
It has about 386 cal per serving and 17 NET carbs.0 -
I can't find my recipe, but we make a sweet potatoe turkey meatloaf. We use barbecue sauce instead of the other tomato based sauce that usually goes into meatloaf. Oh em gee!0

Bump for ideas!
I know this isn't the healthiest meal but I made Zatarain's Dirty Rice with ground turkey. Both my husband and I thought it tasted better with turkey than beef!0 -
I love Ground turkey & have been using it for years... But I just found some new recipes on here.. Thanks everyone for sharing... I use it in goulash, spaghetti, chili & even my corn chowder soup.. I also love to season it & make it into burgers & put a half a wedge of my weight watchers cheese in the middle & bake them... They come out nice & juicy....0

I was just messing around one night and threw some sweet chili sauce (like for dipping spring rolls) onto the ground turkey while it was browning, because I didn't know what I wanted to make but I needed to cook it before it expired. It was really freaking tasty in a bowl just like that. I imagine it would be great with some broccoli and spring onions.0

skipresimont had a great recipe for ground beef, but I use ground turkey or chicken.
1lb ground turkey or chicken or beef
2 tspn worcester sauce
1/2 smail onion
dried oregano
2 cloveds minced garlic
1/2 cup of reduced fat feta cheese.
Mix together and make 4 quarter pounders and cook. They are yummo! I think you can find the actual recipe he posted if you search "garlic feta burgers". I make them at least once a week. My husband loves them!0
