    i treat it like ground beef. just be careful, its drier than beef. for that reason, i perfer to mix it with ground beef or pork. mixing the 3 together creates a great taste for meatballs, meatloaf, even hamburgers.

    I mix 50% veggies into my burgers, meatloaf, meatballs, nuggets, etc for the nutrition, calorie saving, and to add moisture.

    Turkey meatloaf with a ton of basil. It is unbelievable. Or turkey burgers. Turkey curry. Anything you can make with ground cow you can make with turkey.

    I found a recipe that is quick and easy from Chris Powell's carb cycling book. I spice the turkey up with Mrs. Dash southwestern spice. Cook the turkey then divide it up into 3-4 oz portions. Add 1/4 c frozen corn, 1/4 c black beans, 1/4 c diced green/red peppers and then add 3-4 tbs salsa. I freeze these and then just pop it in the microwave for two minutes. It's a great prep ahead meal.

    I used turkey as a replacement for ground beef often in many of the same recipes already given. Remember to check your turkey just like you check your ground beef for fat content. Not all ground turkey is lean. Some turkey can be more "fatty" than ground beef. I've found Costco carries a frozen 5 package of lean ground beef logs at a reasonable price which is convenient for me.
