Turkey...mmmmmm..its cheap, its easy to cook, make many meals and its just so damn gooooooooooooood!!! Nothing goes to waste - I make my turkey stock, my turkey vegetable soup while I break down the meat into meal portions and freeze. Money well spent!
Im actually planning on purchasing a big bird for this weekend. We are moving into our new apartment and part of the grocery shopping will require a 25# bird of food-porn-love!!!!!0 -
I use it minced to make skinnytaste mini turkey cupcakes. I have 3 a day in between meals for a low fat, high protien snack. Love them.0

I'm a convenience eater, so can't offer any elaborate recipes, but for me few things beat the lunch I've just have. Two grilled portobello mushrooms as a burger bun, with a thin turkey steak in the middle. Add relish if you want it. Particularly good for my busy lifestyle as I can just put the mushrooms and the steak onto the George Foreman, leave for 5-10 minutes, grab and go. Nom.0

Mmmm I love turkey!
I use ground turkey in place of ground beef in everything I'd make with it....chili, hamburgers, stuffed peppers, tacos...all better with turkey! I also only use turkey bacon and turkey pepperoni0 -
I bought some Jenny O turkey sausage links and they were fab. I had one and a half which = 240 cal0

I cook turkey a lot. I make ground turkey with tomatoes and serve it over pasta or rice. Ground turkey burgers are great...lot less fat and calories than beef. I cook them on the George Foreman grill and they are gooood. Also eat sliced turkey (lower sodium) in my salad and for sandwiches. And turkey bacon and Jimmy Dean Turkey breakfast sauage is awesome and Hillshire farm smoked turkey saugage...Turkey is good.0

I don't have the time to make a whole turkey, and I've only recently discovered turkey is lower calorie. I've been using the deli-meat but I know it's high in sodium. Wonder if I can buy turkey breast somewhere, no additives..0

Excuses excuses.....You can always find the time to bake a turkey... If you have a table-top roaster, it can cook all day. I have a crockpot big enough to cook a turkey.
If you roast it in the oven and you have house cleaning to do... its not a problem....
Save your money from just purchasing a turkey breast soaked in salt... get a bird! lol!!!0 -
They sell nitrite free sliced turkey at grocery store delis, you have to go look for it, ours here are in house made so they aren't a brand. It does cost a bit more of course, $2.89/100g vs $2.29/100g but it is so much better, they just roast a turkey and slice it up. I pay for convenience0

Every supermarket in UK sells fresh turkey, fillets, steaks, legs or a whole bird. Usually next to the chicken in the fresh meat isle. No need to go for a deli option
A leg is usually a good first time choice, can be cooked whole with a lot of veg & made into either soup or a stew. The fillets are ok but I find turkey to be quite dry so marinate then or have some kind of roux or gravy with them. The mince is also a good choice, just use it in place of anyother minced meat you might have cooked with (beef & pork usually)0 -
I pay for convenience
This is so me haha thank you (:0 -

If you pay for convenience then buy the turkey breast that comes in a bag and you just put it right in the oven in the bag. rediculously expensive compared to other frozen turkey but better for you than sodium filled deli meat.0 -

Yep and ground turkey breast can be used as a substitute for hamburger in any dish you have ver made. Healthier and lower calorie. I make the best chili and tacos with ground turkey breast.0
