Exactly! You can use ground turkey in taco meat, or spaghetti sauce, put it in the crockpot, and freeze leftovers. You can also make crockpot lasagna with ground turkey http://click.findsearchengineresults.com/ads-clicktrack/click/jump2.do?affiliate=46938&subid=97510&terms=crockpot lasagna with ground turkey

All in all, if you can use any other ground meat in the recipe, you can use ground turkey....

I brown my turkey burger with Mrs Dash Seasoning's and some garlic & other seasoning's if you choose.I measure out my 4oz, and add a serving of brown rice with salsa it is really good. On other days i will use some kind of beans to mix in. If i have left over meat mixture i make a taco salad another day.

Turkey meatloaf muffins!!! These ones are so good & easy to make (I'm pretty challenged in the kitchen and they were delicious for me-and I substituted some of the spices/ingredients)

When people come over for dinner, they ask for this recipe all the time and the oatmeal is the secret.

2 egg whites
.5 cup chopped onion
.5 cup chopped green pepper
.6 (2/3) cup plain oatmeal
salt to taste
pepper to taste
tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
a bottle of ketchup (not gonna use the whole bottle)

preheat oven to 350
mix ALL that good stuff together
It'll be squishy. form a loaf out of it.
place that bad boy in a lil baking pan.
squeeze ketchup in a zigzag over meat wad.
cover with foil.
put it in the oven... check on it.. takes about 45-60 mins (you can do this in the crock pot too.. it will take longer)
let it sit about 5-10 minutes, then serve.



*When it's done, drain drippings into a pan and add some ketchup, water, and Worcestershire sauce to drippings. Add a little pepper and all purpose flour. whisk and make a gravy. Pour it over loaf.

the best !!! love spagehtti also baked ziti and lasagne

Throw in a package of Lipton onion soup mix with a pound of turkey burger with an egg white or two to hold the patties together. And grill yourself some tasty hamburgers up. Supper yummy cause turkey burgers can be a bit bland.

stuffed bell peppers!!!! so delicious, fill with anything you want! I've made these before with just 3 whole peppers and about half a pound of ground beef but you could definitely substitute turkey. I've also use cannelini beans for a vegetarian version that was awesome.

EDIT: I change up the spices from that original recipe a fair amount...lots of garlic, crushed red pepper and italian seasoning. I also just sprinkle a little cheese on top rather than mixing it in so that I use less.

I like to season the ground turkey like you would for tacos, brown in then put it in a pita pocket with some lettuce, tomatoe, avocado, taco sauce or pico de gallo you can also add some light sour cream if you want or you can make a taco salad and instead of the pita pocket add some kidney or pinto or black beans ......YUM, I also like to make turkey loaf, and taco soup.........

Amazing Turkey Meatloaf:

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup onion
1 1/2 pound ground turkey
16 saltine crackers, finely crumbed
2 tbsp milk
2 large egg whites (I used one whole egg)
1/2 cup bottled chili sauce, divided (I used sweet chili sauce)
1-2 tbsp brown sugar (leave this out if you use sweet chili sauce)
1 tbsp vinegar (I leave this out)
1 tsp dried basil or oregano
Pepper

Spray skillet with non-stick spray (I used olive oil). Cookie veggies until tender.

Combine crackers, milk, 1/2 of chili sauce and egg whites (or whole egg); mix well. Add ground turkey, veggies and seasoning and mix.

The recipe recommended baking at 350 for 30 minutes (+15 after the sauce is added), I baked at 400 in a shallow pan. You can use a shallow baking dish, a loaf pan or muffin tins.

Combine remaining chili sauce, brown sugar (or leave out if you're using sweet chili sauce) and vinegar. Spoon over meatloaf for the last 15 minutes of baking.

I too use ground turkey in place of all ground beef. It's gotta be lean though, 93/7 at least or your eating skin and fat anyway. Skinnytaste.com has lots of goods recipes: http://www.skinnytaste.com/search?q=ground+turkey
They have a recipe for mini turkey meatloafs that are great.

Hey,
I have converted to Turkey about 5 years now and love it! My fav is my wheat pasta spaghetti! See ingrediants below:
-Wheat pasta , cooked (spaghetti)
-turkey meat
-garlic, onion, bellpepper,mushroom, fresh tomatoes any veggie you love. I love zuchinni too- avoid canned veggies (sodium). I even add corn sometimes.
=Marinara sauce vs. tomato paste
-honey

Instructions:
In skillet heat olive oil, add teaspoon+ in pan, add veggies and sautee them (Love a bit of everything...add whatever you like.) Once they cook for about 5 min. add meat and brown.
Season w/garlic 'powder', fresh pepper, herbs like oregano, basil, thyme,rosemary (more the better). For seasoning you can use Mrs. Dash tokeep down sodium and I also add a dash of season-all or salt for flavor(up to you.)

Once meat starts to brown, add marinara sauce and add a tablespooon of honey for taste..yum!

Turn the heat on low and let simmer. This will let the herb flavors soak in..I love spaghetti the next day. even better!

With your noodles, just follow the directions and again , avoid a lot of salt. This can be lethal to water retention!

Once noodles done cooking, drain and put on plate, then add turkey /veggie sauce you made..yum! You can top w/ low fat shredded cheese for extra flavor! yum!!
