So I have a package of ground turkey that I am thawing right now, and I'm not sure what to do with it! I'm "Turkey Taco/Taco Salad'ed" (is that a word? It is now!) OUT! What do you guys do with your ground turkey?

    OOOhhh yummy! I do low carb Ground turkey pizza.... instead of hamburger. I use Ground turkey for everything, even in my Spaghetti sauces. I do Ground Turkey burgers too! Just mix the ground turkey with chopped bell pepper and onion, and salt and pepper, and One egg to bind it. I make the patties and them saute them over medium/high heat with a little EVOO in the pan. Serve on low carb bun, or whatever you like. I use mustard or squeeze Lime juice on them when they are done! Avocado too. It's my favorite topping.

    We enjoy ground turkey: meat loaf, chili, stuffed bell peppers, and hamburgers. Haven't tried it on pizza, will have to do that.

    Any dish that you can think of that has hamburg in it... I use ground turkey in! It's so yummy! Pasta dishes, stuffed peppers, cabbage rolls, meatloaf, tacos, casseroles, chili, turkey burgers, soups, stews. I love it!
  • I toss it in with some pasta and marinara sauce, some ricotta cheese and shredded mozz for a quick Italian meal. Hits the spot for me.

    Personally I use ground chicken but either way, just us it like you would ground beef. Use it in spaghetti, in bakes, on pizza, as a hamburger, meatloaf. The possibilities are endless.

    Stuffed Pepper Soup (Cooking Light) .... yum

    1/2 pound ground round (turkey)
    2 cups chopped green bell pepper (red & green combo)
    1 cup chopped onion
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 (14-ounce) can less-sodium beef broth
    1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato soup, undiluted
    1 1/2 cups hot cooked white rice

    Heat a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add chopped green bell pepper and onion; cook 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in black pepper, less-sodium beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
    Spoon 1/4 cup hot cooked white rice into each of 6 bowls; top with 1 cup soup.

    *Variations: for tomato soup I use Amy's or Progresso - Campbell's too sweet (IMO). I also like to add some basil. You can use brown rice.

    I wish this site was like Facebook where I could "Like" all comments. Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I have ingredients at home for ALL (yes all) items listed! I'll have to venture out of the box and def. try this in a spaghetti sauce.

    Have a wonderful night, everyone! Wish me luck!
