Got out a 1/2 bag of ground turkey for dinner but have NO idea what to make. Trying to avoid noodles, rice and potatoes at all costs. Doing a low carb challenge.
Any recipes would be greatly appreciated!! :-)

I love to make ground turkey and mix in veggies, squash, zuccini, brocolli, cauliflower, basically anything will go with it. Alternatively is just mixing in some spaghetti sauce.0

Why not a turkey burger patty?
My recipe (for one serving)
4-5 oz of ground turkey (i used extra lean Jenny-o 99% fat free)
1/4 medium onion (chopped)
1/3 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper for flavor
Mix them all up (the egg is to help keep it moist adn REALLY yummy), make them into a patty shape, cook them in a skilet with a little bit of oil until cooked

Make it into taco meat, add tomatoes, onions, cheese, and salsa and scoop into lettuce leaves. It's a super yummy alternative to tacos!0

One of the easiest and most delicious recipes I would recommend is a mock-taco.
Brown ground turkey in a skillet with chopped onion and your choice of mexican seasoning. I like to add chipotles in adobo (it's really all you need!) but you can also do chilli powder, cumin, cayanne, salt/pepper - add a little water if you are doing just dry seasonings.
Toppings are your choice - the more veggies the better! You could do bell peppers, jalapenos, onion, avacado...etc. Fresh salsa!
Get a nice head of bib lettuce. Carefully remove leaves keeping them whole and rince them.
Scoop turkey meat into lettuce - top with veggies and voila! Delicious (and a tad messy) mock-tacos...mockos?
Could also serve this on top of a salad...or in a 1/2 of a acorn squash...0 -
I love making turker burgers without the bun. I chop up some onion and garlic and mash that into the meat then put them in the pan with just a little cooking spray. Turkey tends to crumble on the grill. Then I just put on my toppings (cheese, bacon (ok on south beach!), avocado, onion, etc.) I made these all the time when I was in phase 1 of South Beach. Also, prettypixidaisy's suggestion of Turkey chili is great. Just get some cans of stewed tomatoes, tomato paste (to thicken it up), 1 can kidney beans, chopped celery, carrots, canned corn (omit if you want to go completely carb-less), garlic, bay leaves and seasoning (garlic salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder to taste, cumin). Brown up the turkey and sautee the veggies then and add it to the other ingredients. Let it simmer for a couple of hours and eat. I always top mine with a little cheese.0

Thai Chilli Basil
Saute chopped chillies and garlic in a little oil
Brown Mince
Add Fish Oil, Oyster Oil and Soy Sauce to taste
Add Basil leaves (lots) to wilt on top then mix through
Usually serve on rice but you could try cous cous, quinoa or cauliflower rice.
Turkey and Bean Chilli
Saute diced onion and chopped chillies
Brown Turkey Mince
Add Beans of choice (black beans if you have easy access, I usually end up with 4 bean mix or 1 tin each of cannelini and kidney beans)
Add Tomato Salsa (I usually use a tin of tomatoes and some tomato paste), you could probably include some diced capsicum and I have been know to add a heap of mushrooms
Simmer as long as you feel you need to
I usually eat it with pieces of wholemeal pita bread or wraps/tortillas0 -
Chili is no good as there are lots of carbs in beans (if you use beans).
I would sautee it in a little EVOO with some thyme, oregano and garlic-- then add some fresh or canned tomatoes (lots), chopped green (or white) onions, maybe a little chopped bell pepper and chili pepper (or red pepper flakes).
Serve it topped with shredded mozzarella or parmesan. Yum.0 -
chalupas...yum0

I cook ground turkey breast in skillet until done and add a jar of salsa. Then I dump it over lettuce - sort of like a taco salad. I hate turkey but I really like this. It's quite tasty.0
