We just had these last night and my family loves them! I used FF refried beans instead of black beans, but oh so yummy!
There are several other turkey recipes you can browse through on skinnytaste.com.

Enjoy!

If you are in the mood for a burger, try this: stuff the ground turkey with a crumbled cheese (e.g., blue cheese, gorgonzola, feta, etc.), season to taste and broil in the oven on low. For condiments, try a fat free or lite ranch instead of mayo, add lettuce tomato and onion and you're set! It is delish!!!

I find that ground turkey makes a great filling for tacos...once you put the taco seasoning on it's indistinguishable from ground beef. Tastes great.


Come to think of it, that sounds like a pretty good dinner idea for tonight.

I LOVE turkey chili! I make it with:

4 oz. Ground Turkey
1 cup Onion, chopped
1 cup Bell Pepper, chopped
1 can of Rotel
1 can of Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Garlic
1 tsp Black Pepper

I put it in my slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low. Last time I made it, it was awesome with crackers! Tonight I'm making it and will be using it as the chili for frito pies.
