I made a Ground Turkey Lasagna last weekend that turned out tasty.

9 Uncooked Lasagna Noodles
1/2 of 20 oz package of Jennie O Ground Turkey
1 Cup Reduced Fat Cottage Cheese
1 Large Egg
1 8 oz bag of Kraft 2% shredded Mozzarella
2 cups of Ragu Sauce

Cook Turkey. Combine Cottage cheese, 3/4 bag of cheese, egg and cooked turkey in bowl. Spray glass 9x13 with non stick cooking spray. Lay 3 strips of noodles in glass dish. Layer with cottage cheese mixture. Spread 1/4 cup sauce over cottage cheese layer. Repeat. Layer last 3 noodles on top. Spread 1/2 cup sauce over top of noodles. Place in oven on 350 for 1 hour. Then add last cup of Ragu Sauce and remaining cheese and bake for 10 additional minutes.

Cut into 9 servings. With the brands of ingredients I used each serving was 256 calories, 26 carbs, 9 grams of fat and 9 grams of protein.

I made turkey stuffed peppers in my crock pot last weekend, I still have two of the peppers in the freezer ready to be eaten.

The main ingredients are just:
1lb ground turkey (or whatever meat)
1cup cooked (or uncooked instant) rice
4 bell peppers
tomato paste (flavored or unflavored, or canned tomatoes)

You can add in whatever you want, too, I put in garlic last time and I'm going to add in an onion next time I do this. Take the tops off the peppers and clean out the major ribbing inside and the seeds, keep the tops. Mix it all together and divide it into the peppers, put the tops back on. Put them in the crock pot with maybe an inch of water. I cooked on low for seven hours, but I think you can cook on high for 3 and it'll be fine, just temperature check your meat (of course, you could cook it in the oven, too, I'm sure).

When I took them out the stems literally pulled away from the extra pepper meat on the tops without any pressure, and I mixed it all up with some quacamole and light sour cream. It was just below 500 calories altogether per pepper for what I put in, including the quacamole and sour cream, and only 300mg or so of sodium.
