    I use ground turkey in any recipe that calls for ground beef, they're pretty much interchangeable. You don't need special ground turkey recipes.

    I do meatballs with a pound of ground turkey, half a cup of seasoned bread crumbs and two egg whites. Some times I will add spinach or other seasoning, but usually keep the core ingredients the same. Rather than bake them right away I freeze the meatballs individually and then I have a quick and easy meal I can grab right out of the freezer. Bake the meatballs at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes (until well browned).

    I will add these to spaghetti or make a meatball sandwich or even just throw them in a crockpot with some sauce for an easy appetizer.

    Skinnytaste.com has some excellent recipes for ground turkey. They have an asian meatball recipe that is amazing. Earlier this week we had their sloppy joes and I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef and it was BEYOND FABULOUS! I ate the leftovers over spaghetti squash instead of on a bun to save the carbs and that was delish too!

    2: season ground turkey with salt, white pepper, crushed red pepper and sage, brown, and set aside
    3: in same skillet, brown home fries, chopped green peppers and a bit of chopped red onion Don't forget to season with salt
    4: Re-incorporate turkey, eggs. Cook, folding occasionally until eggs are done.

    My favorite are turkey stuffed peppers. This recipe calls for green peppers, but I like red, yellow, and orange. The only change I make is to cook the turkey/tomato/rice mixture longer (if you're using regular brown rice, not minute rice) as it really takes much longer for the rice to soften up. Enjoy!!

    Hungry girl's Unique Greek Turkey Burgers are awesome, too! Just DON'T use two egg whites. One is plenty, and two just makes it super sloppy.

    Not sure where you're located but I use Larry's sauce which is healthy and awesome tasting. I throw in some beans and browned ground turkey for the fastest chili going. Everyone loves it, too so no cooking two dinners.

    Add taco seasonings and a can of mexican corn and a jar of salsa. Put some shredded cheese on top. It's great and everyone loves it. It's called Turkey taco skillet, I think.

    Like several others, I just replace ground beef with ground turkey. I prefer 93/7 to the 99% - 30 more cals per 4ozs, but I think the extra flavor and moisture are worth it, especially for burgers.
