Tacos! They are my standby whenever I am cooking for a large group. Put everything into separate dishes (I use ground turkey, cheese, lettuce, pico, sour cream, hot salsa, lettuce, black olives, etc) and I also get flour and corn tortillas. The kids always have a blast making them and I dont have to worry about who likes what.

I love making eggplant rolls for big crowds. Everyone loves them. And they are super easy.

Does the ground turkey taste good? ive had the bacon, burger patties and turkey links and are delicious but idk about the ground turkey!

Pork loin roasted with root vegetables and onion. Maybe a side of collard greens sauteed in olive oil and garlic..

Yes! I like it better then ground beef actually (I prefer my beef in the form of a steak It has a really mild flavor so you can really taste the taco spices more then you can with ground beef! I make my own taco spice mix and also add 1 can of beans (any kind.. black, kidney, pinto) into the taco meat with about 1/2 can of tomato sauce and a few cloves of chopped garlic. It really bulks up the filling, tastes delicious and everyone who has ever it asks for the recipe!
