As the posting said, I just browned ground turkey, was going to make spaghetti, but somehow my noodles I bought have disappeared. Any suggestions on what to do with this ground turkey??? Something easy and simple, and preferably kid friendly! Thanks!

    Ground Turkey Burritos! mix in a can of diced tomatoes, and peppers and onions, and some salsa. use wraps if you have them (and can have the carbs) or use a bed of lettuce and turn it into salad. You could add some corn, and a few tortilla chips for crunch. the salsa instead of dressing. and i have to add grated cheese to get my son to eat it :)

    Depends on what you have available to you but, how would a chili or stew work? Possibly burritos/fajitas? Healthy version of nachos? Those are the first suggestions that come to mind. If you can tell me what you've got in your fridge/pantry I can try to give you something more specific hehe

    Make what you were going to make and put it over any other kind of pasta, rice, mashed potatoes or toast.

    Toss some taco seasoning with the meat. Add a can of tomatoes, but drain it first. Make tacos.

    or

    Mix the meat with taco seasoning, chopped red pepper and shredded cheese. Wrap that in a tortilla.

    Got any rice? Any veggies? Throw the veggies in with the cooked turkey. Cook rice. Throw the rice in with the turkey and veggies, pour a beaten egg over it, strew liberally with soy sauce and drizzle with sesame oil if you've got it.

    My kids would totally groove on kimchi fried rice -- chop a cup or more of kimchi, add it to the meat (with a smashed clove or two of garlic, maybe). Cook that together, add cooked rice, stir it up. Add any kimchi juice from the jar and stir-fry with a beaten egg or two.

    My kids were set on spaghetti! Not as healthy as i wanted it to be, but I found a box of mac n cheese, leftover ziti noodles, and push come to shove, white rice, and then as a filler, over garlic bread. Whew! The mac n cheese was hidden in the back of the pantry and the ziti was in the freezer, a lil freezer burnt, but in spaghetti, no one will know! But thanks to everyone I have a lot of other ideas for future meals!

    You didn't mention any other ingredients you might have, so I'll shoot for the stars - stuffed bell peppers.

    Make sloppy joes and put it on bread if you don't have any buns.
