Turkey Chili and Turkey&Quinoa Meatloaf are the two recipes that I use for ground turkey. You can find recipes on allrecipes.com
In fact, I have turkey chili in the crockpot at this moment for tomorrow. Yum!2 -

It looks like the number 1 sin is over working the ground meat.
The link I provided will bring you to a recipe that will replace the animal fat with heart healthy fat.
The recipe looks delicious, Ill be trying it soon myself.1 -
I make different variations of meatballs. For example, last night i made my own Thai meatballs. I grated onion, fresh ginger and garlic cloves into ground chicken breast, with curry powder, grated lime rind, salt and pepper. I just dropped spoonfuls into a pan with some water and a splash of oil and covered, letting them steam on med low for about 15 mins.
Then i transferred them to a pan and simmer them in coconut milk and basil.
I use it alot of my egyptian dishes as well. I mix the meat with a mix of uncooked rice, dill, cumin, grated onion and garlic and tomato paste and wrap in grape leaves. I place a plate upside down in a large pot, line the wraps up and then fill half the pot with water. Press another plate on top, cover and steam for 45 mins.

I do a lot of turkey meatballs. Pulverize oats, baby bell mushrooms, parm, egg white, and spices you like. Shape and bake in the oven.0

Turkey Taco Tuesday! However with something that lean, you'll probably need to add a little bit of fat to help with the browning and to prevent sticking to the skillet.

Chinese green beans with ground turkey over rice. So easy to make and ready in less than 30 minutes.

I just made stuffed peppers using ground turkey instead of Italian sausage. They were delicious!

I used the leftover ground turkey to make breakfast muffins:
10 eggs, 8 oz. ground turkey sausage, 2/3 cup skim milk, and 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and some spices--mix together and separate into a muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 15-16 minutes.2 -

Is it bad to mix the ground turkey with taco seasoning? I love to do that! My favorite is mixing with squash onion bellpeppers mushrooms and jalapeños. And I love spaghetti so I'll usually make a zucchini noodle in replacement for the noodles with all the above ingredients and add a little bit of spaghetti sauce1

This is good but I accidentally bought hot green chiles and it was a little too spicy.

I don't really like 99% turkey so I get 93%, but I make tacos, pasta meat sauce, stuffed peppers, lasagna, meatballs, burgers...0

google ground chicken pizza. You can use the turkey for that. I bought some ground chicken and am going to add shredded Swiss cheese and diced ham to make a chicken cordon bleu pizza1

I can never find turkey any leaner that 93/7, so I usually opt for beef as well. I just prefer the taste and texture of beef. I do burgers and tacos a lot. Little pizzas. Sometimes I just cook up a pound and keep it in the fridge for whatever I'm feeling throughout the week. Broccoli slaw, beef, and chipotle ranch is an easy one. Recently I started making "burrito bowls" - beef, beans, rice, veggies.0 -
I eat a turkey taco for dinner nearly every night. But for meat that lean, I'd mix it with regular ground turkey (or beef), make a whole mess of taco meat, and freeze it in individual containers.
99% is too lean for a good taco, but mixed 50/50 with regular, it should be pretty good.0 -

I get 93% turkey because it's cheaper than 90% beef, basically, lol. I still get beef sometimes though, but then it's typically 85%.0 -
I use it to make stuft green bell peppers along with salsa instead of tomatoes to improve taste. I also use it to make meatloaf with bbq sauce and it is delicious!0
