    agreed with the ground beef substitution.... you will be amazed that it gives those dishes a different taste dimension when ground turkey is used. good luck.

    i'm doing lower carb so keep that in mind when I give you the recipes.

    I didn't add the extra salt though and used more spices.

    Turkey burgers, chili with ground turkey, sheppards pie (use mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes. The ground beef substitution is what I do.

    Really sorry. I copied the recipe from another application. I see that it has combined the ingredient list with the cooking directions. You should be able to find an intact recipe by googling Gourmet light and searching for "spicy turkey meatloaf"

    I use ground turkey in my spaghetti sauce and my family is starting to prefer it that way. Also did turkey tacos and they were fabulous. I really think anything you use beef...you could substitute ground turkey or chicken. I wait for chicken thighs to go on sale and then use my food processor to process it myself.

    You can use it every way you used ground beef. I used it in everything meatloaf, burgers, tacos, and lasanga. There is very little grease and the best part is it doesn't shrink!
