Ground turkey can be used in place of any ground meat. I use it for tacos, meatloaf, burgers, spaghetti, chili, on pizzas for the kids. Turkey and black beans burgers are yummy and even my husband loves them. With a family of five that is one easy way to stretch out food.0

One of my favorites is mini turkey meatloaf with sundried tomatos
You do it in a cupcake pan, they are too cute and make it easy to control portions
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 cup rehydrarted sun dried toms
1/4 whole wheq bread crumbs
1/4 parm
fresh parsley
mix it up , saving the parm
bakefor 30 mins @ 350
sprinkle parm n top for last five minutes0 -
Another vote for just using it as a substitute for ground beef in any recipe you've got... I use it in chili, bolognese sauce, tacos, meatballs, burgers, etc.0

Make meatballs with it. Its pretty moist and holds together good without a binder like eggs. It can easily be over worked so pay attention to that aspect. I make a slurry of onion, jalapeno and garlic and mix into it along with oregano. Use very little bread crumb. I like to grill mine but of course you can bake too. I serve mine with a homemade Tequila Cranberry Orange Chutney. Have a good one0

Thank you for all the brill info. I like the sound of the meatloaf. Although I have never made on myself yet...I asked my German husband if he knows what meatloaf is...
So his answer was it is either a singer or a type of meat cake that you bake in the oven! Love it!0 -
I do not buy ground beef anymore, only ground turkey. My children don't even notice. They have adapted I use it in spaghetti, chili, tacos, etc.0

I LOVE (in fact I am having it tonite)...I brown the ground turkey..then add like...a half a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and throw in two cups of spinach..I may sprinkle it with a bit of Adobo seasoning..then I put it in a low carb tortilla with either a serving of 2% milk fat cheese or else 2 tbsp of my favorite hummus..wrap up and voila! A filling meal!0

I am going to try the Bob Harper recipe for meatballs - it sounds so good to add rice to it! Thanks!0

use just like beef for burgers, meatballs, stuffed peppers, stuffed tomatoes and meatloaf, just need to add some extra spice (cumin, coriander, chili powder, cayenne) to compensate for blandness.
oh yeah, I bake mine to not add additional fat, I place them on a cooling rack that I then place on the cookie tray so they brown evenly all around.0 -
I use ground turkey for everything. I make:
Turkey Meatballs 1/2 cup breadcrumbs - you can use quinoa instead if you like, 1 egg or egg substitute, 1/2 onion minced - I usually throw the onion and a couple of cloves of garlic in a mini prep chopper, salt, and a couple of spoonfulls of greek yogurt. Mix all together and form into golf-ball sized balls. Bake at 425 for 20 - 25 minutes)
Turkey burgers with quinoa: 1 package ground turkey, 1/3 cup cooked quinoa, kosher salt, garlic powder, dehydrated onions, Worchester sauce
Turkey meatloaf: Basically the same as turkey meatballs, but I add dried ground mustard and Worchester sauce, skip the greek yogurt and put ketchup over the top before cooking in the oven.
Turkey lettuce cups: 1 Package ground turkey, 1/2 onion - chopped, 1-2 cloves of garlic, fresh ginger or ground ginger powder, yoshida's teriyaki sauce (if I have more time, then I mix my own sauce), and 1 can water chestnuts. Cook all together in saute pan and then wrap in lettuce.
Turkey taco salad: 1 package ground turkey, 1/2 onion, 2 Tbs onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 Tsp chili powder (more if you like it spicy), 1 tsp ground oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbs all purpose flour, 1 can tomato sauce. - sauté onion until softened then add turkey and all spices, cook until turkey is brown. Then add the flour and sauté for 1 minute to cook off the flour taste. Then add in the can of tomato sauce. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes until heated through. I don't eat tortillas so I put it over shredded lettuce, but you can make regular tacos as well. Depending on your taste, you can add light sour cream or plain greek yogurt, avocado, olives, fat-free refried beans, etc...
I've also been known to sauté ground turkey, onions, salt, garlic and cubed sweet potato. And also take that recipe and add chopped fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes depending on what I have on hand.0 -
Turkey Burgers! What I do is mix 4 tablespoons salsa and some chopped onion (however much you like) in with the meat and separate into 4 Patties. Delicious!0

I love to use ground turkey for tacos. I like the consistency way better than ground beef specifically for those.0

This sounds great. Will have to try.0 -

One thing I've found is that since turkey is leaner, it dries out more easily when you bake it or use it in burgers. You might find that adding an egg white or a little skim milk helps in that department - obviously not as much of an issue with a chili!0 -
I often use chicken mince to make spaghetti bolognaise, it tastes fine to me!
Do you have the recipe for spaghetti bolognaise? It sounds wonderful!0
