Ground turkey recipes needed

I use ground chicken to make chili: 3 lbs perdue ground chicken, (2) cans light kidney beans, (2) large cans pureed tomatoes, (1) regular can chopped tomatoes (2) pkgs great value mild chili seasoning. Cook the chicken with (3) tbls chopped garlic. Add cooked chicken and rest of ingredients to 5 qt crockpot and cook on low 3 - 4 hours or longer.......depending on your dinner time.

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law. We love this meal and eat it almost every other week.

Chinese Goulash

I like the looks of this recipe -will give it a whirl some weekend.

Tacos! Just follow the seasoning packet directions and sub turkey for beef.

Check out my recipe for Taco Salad with ground turkey....

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/488271-taco-salad-with-homemade-taco-sauce

My homemade taco sauce has 70-75% less sodium than those premade taco seasoning packets which have 330-400 mg of sodium per serving and 1200 mg per packet.

Not only that, but the sauce is tastier and not as bland.

You can also make spaghetti with whole grain spaghetti noodles and low sodium sauce.

You can make meatloaf.

Enchiladas (spray the bottom of a pan with cooking spray, layer mission small white corn tortillas, layer ground turkey seasoned with enchilada sauce and cooked with diced red onions , layer of tortillas and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced olives, and chopped jalapeno pepper. Cook in oven at 425 for 15 mins or until the cheese starts to brown)

Sloppy Joes (follow insttructions on Manwich can)

Stir Fry (season meat with 1/4 tsp chinese five spice and 2 tsp soy sauce, cook then add in bag of frozen stir fry vegetable mix and another 2 tsp soy sauce, layer on top of whole grain rice)

Homemade egg rolls (sorry you have to find a recipe, not giving out my mom's LOL)

Hope this helps.

Try egg rolls. Here is a good one...http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-egg-rolls/ Just substitute the ground pork for ground turkey. You can also so a little lighter and use spring roll wraps.

Lasagna

My calorie count did not come up the same. I made a few changes. I used low sodium broth and beans, added a little extra tomato paste and added frozen corn. Could have used a little more salt, but instead of adding that I just added a little dollop of low fat cream cheese and some Tapatio Hot Sauce! YUM!

HEre is a meal my wife and I love. 2lbs ground turkey, 1 medium onion, 1 can stewed tomatos( 2 if you like ), 1 large bell bepper, 1 or 2 medium squash or zucchini. My wife likes to add 1 can kideny beans but I really dont like them. Brown the turkey or until there is no more red. Add the veggies and let simmer for about 40 mins. Season to your taste. I like to put in cayan pepper but not everyone likes the heat. Happy eating

Made this last week and it was a hit with everybody. Best meatloaf I've ever made. I didn't mash the potatoes but boiled them for 20 minutes and then roasted them with Mrs. Dash. The calorie count is for the whole meal, not just the meatloaf. Mine came out looking just like the photo, firm and not crumbly.

Homestyle Turkey Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 90 minutes

INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
4 egg whites
1 cup salsa (I like chipotle flavor in this—love the "smoke")
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1 pkg. Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
6 portions red potatoes
2 lbs. green beans
3/4 cup skim milk
2 T Butter Buds

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl combine ground turkey, onion, egg whites, salsa, oats, soup mix and black pepper. Press mixture into a 9 x 5 loaf pan and spread ketchup over the top. Bake in a pre-heated oven until meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and juice is clear, about 60 minutes.

Approximately 25 minutes after putting the meatloaf in the oven, cut potatoes into 1" chunks. Place in a large saucepan and cover with cold water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

Cut stems off green beans and place in a large saucepan with 1" of water in the bottom. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.

Remove meatloaf from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Drain potatoes, mash with 3/4 cup skim milk and add Butter Buds. Mash vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe has become a staple in my house, it is amazing:

Southwestern Turkey Loaf

A spicy twist to an all-American classic.

Directions
Preheat oven to 375*F.
In large bowl, mix ground turkey with tortilla chips, egg, corn, 1 cup salsa, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper just until well-combined; do not overmix or meat loaf will be tough.

Bake meat loaf 1 hour or until temperature on meat thermometer inserted in center of meat loaf reaches 160F.
Let meat loaf stand 10 minutes for easier slicing.

Light "Mince and Tatties."

Take some ground turkey, sautee it with a carrot and some celery, and pour low sodium beef broth/stock over it and let it cook.

Boil some potatoes and mash them with some low fat or fat free milk.

Have a little bit of potatoes (it's ok in a small portion), and scoop the meat over it.

It's really good.
