Stuffed bell peppers, stuffed heirloom tomatoes, spaghetti, meat balls, one of our favorites is greek style turkey burgers. YUM!0

Tacos are good. Make them into meatballs and serve them with spaghetti and sauce. Make mini burgers (turkey sliders?) or sloppy joes.0

I use it as a pizza topping, in Quesadillas (especially if I have some left over from Taco Night), as a topper for a salad, to make meatballs (check out www.skinnytaste.com--the Greek Meatballs are EXCELLENT any my 3 yr old loves them!), etc.0

Make some turkey lasagna. You can use all of the same sauces and spices as in beef lasagna and it tastes amazing too! I like to use the spinach noodles and mix cottage cheese, 1 egg and spinach together for one of the layers too. My husband and children LOVE it! Enjoy!0

do not, i repeat, do not use turkey for shephards pie...dear god. it was gross. i can only handle ground turkey if it's IN something - like chili or sauce or even the turkey tacos sound yummy...
clearly i have no clever ideas. sorry0 -
turkey burgers and turkey meatballs are great choices, just pick your favorite beef recipe and substitute the turkey instead0

Definatly tacos!~!~ sooo much better than beef.!~!
Maybe meatballs? I use ground turkey in mine and my husband and brother NEVER know that difference. I just make them exactly how I make the with beef. You can add a little worchestershire sauce to your reg meatball recipe to bump up the savoryness. (not sure if thats a real word,..lol)
I LUV turkey burgers. I mix the meat with a beaten egg (since the turkey is soo floppy) add a little bread crumbs if its soo soft for your taste and make them just like any other burger. I like putting some fresh basil and garlic in the meat and topping it with mozz and tomatos and drizzle some balsamic. Its my twist on bruscetta!~!0 -
I made Chicken meatball soup last night... but you can definitely make it with turkey.
It was so simple (i used odds and ends that i had to get rid of before they went bad)
I chopped carrots and celery and 2 small white potatos and put them in a pot with low sodium chicken stock, and let it cook for about 20 minutes...
the meatballs were ground chicken, egg whites(about 1 egg per pound) and italian bread crumbs all mixed together in a bowl... i rolled them into small balls and turned up the heat on the soup (until it was almost boiling) and threw them in.
I also added small shell pasta to make it more filling but you can easily do without.
It was sooooo good. and pretty healthy i'd say! also, you can add some grated cheese if you want.0 -
I really want to try this with ground turkey or chicken:

Hot Dish
1 lb ground turkey (I usually cook it with pepper and garlic salt or other spice to make up for lack of flavor since I sub it for beef) - browned
I can corn
1can kidney beans
2 cans tomato soup (campbells)
1/2 pkg. macaroni noodles (cooked)
mix it all up and let it simmer for about 20 minutes for flavors to mix-

Use can use ground chicken anywhere you would use ground beef. Chili, tacos, burgers, spaghetti and turkeyballs (I just had to use this word - LOL). Anything. It works great with high seasoned meals like tacos and chili.0
