    I love turkey that is all I eat. I buy ground turkey and make it into turkey burgers. I make fiesta ones with turkey, jalapenos, and cheese. Feta olive burgers; turkey, feta cheese, black olives, and bruchetta ones with parm cheeses,turkey, basil, and diced tomatoes.

    I love ground turkey and make turkey chili with it and have also tried Jamie Eason's recipes (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-recipes-main-page.html) and they are good! I've also just cooked up a one pound package of ground turkey and seasoned it with cayenne, oregano and rosemary and have portioned that out for lunch (3 oz.) and then made egg whites and spinach to mix it with it--this is my new fav!

    1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
    1 pound ground turkey
    1/2 onion, chopped
    2 cups water
    1 (28 ounce) can canned crushed tomatoes
    1 (16 ounce) can canned kidney beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Place turkey in the pot, and cook until evenly brown. Stir in onion, and cook until tender.
    Pour water into the pot. Mix in tomatoes, kidney beans, and garlic. Season chili powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.

    (the actual recipe calls for 1 whole onion, i found it to be entirely too much onion lol)

    My favorite summertime turkey recipe is as follows:
    Cook up a hunk of turkey breast (you can buy the already cooked...buts its so high in sodium). cut into chunks. Throw into a big bowl and add in chunked apples..like 2-3 (I like granny smith because they don't get mushy), chunks of your favorite cheese (cheddar holds up well as does colby jack), sliced green grapes and you can throw in a few crumbles of bacon and cashews or walnuts. You can add celery and raisins but I don't. The "sauce" is easy. takes some mayo and mix to it vanilla yogurt, honey and vinegar. just a splash of vinegar. Salt & pepper to taste. There really aren't measurements. maybe a few spoonfuls of each and just a few squirts of honey and a splash of vinegar. keep adjusting until you get a taste you like. Mix sauce into turkey mixture and eat. It can last up to almost a week in the fridge...but its so delish you will eat it in 3 days!

    I also love cooked turkey breast on wraps or ciabatta bread with some brie cheese and cranberry sauce. Super yummy. its a nice treat I like to get every few months. My local bistro makes it and its AWESOME!

    I use ground turkey anywhere a recipe calls for ground beef. Tacos, meat sauce, meatballs, lasagna, etc. I love turkey chili as well.

    One of my faves is turkey burger by Martha Stewart. I substitute an egg for the cheese and skip the scallions. The whole thing takes about 10 minutes start to finish using a george foreman.

    I also use the turkey breast fillets when I don't feel like roasting a whole turkey. I just cook it on stove top or grill.
