With all of these ingredients and spices, I'd be surprised if you could tell if this was turkey meat or beef. There are several other recipes like it on this site. Perhaps you'll find something you can tolerate. If not, give it up. Go back to beef. If you're trying to save calories and/or fat, there isn't much of a difference between ground turkey and lean ground beef. Don't keep trying to eat something that you really don't care for. The nutritional value is about even. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Smokin-Scov鈥?/a>Recipe search: Is there anything good you can do with ground turkey?
If the flavor is the problem you want to use it in heavy flavor dishes to mask that flavor while still getting the great protein.
I use it instead of ground beef in your standard stove top tacos. It is excellent in a slow cooked chili, enchiladas, curries, you can give it a try in marinara for a meaty spaghetti.
Keep in mind, turkey has less fat than beef so it cooks So much faster than ground beef, so part of the problem might be that you're cooking it too long. For the dishes I mentioned you want to break it up before it goes into the pan so it doesn't cook together too fast, it's a little more than half the cook time as a basic lean ground beef.
Just saw the edit, if the smell is the problem cook it in the sauce you're using (in a slow cooker chili for example). There's less chance to overcook it this way too, yay!
I use it for everything I would use ground beef for.

Terrific Turkey Chili --
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 (7 ounce) can salsa
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat.
Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.
Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.
While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed.
Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

Untidy Samuels

GROUND TURKEY ENCHILADAS

2 cups salsa
1 can diced tomatoes

2 cups Mexican blend cheese
1 8 oz. block cream cheese
ground cumin to taste
Cook ground turkey in skillet until no longer pink over medium heat. Add drained spinach and 1 cup of salsa to turkey and cumin to taste (about 1 tsp). Cook about 5 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and add cream cheese. Mix until melted.
Lay flour tortilla flat and place 1/3 cup mix, roll and place in greased 13x9 inch pan with flat side up. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven and top with 1 cup salsa mixed with can of diced tomatoes and additional cumin to taste. Top with cheese. Return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

Turkey is one bland, tasteless meat which, unfortunately is healthier than red meat and we should encourage it in our diet.
I had the same problem and now I am able to eat it and enjoy it. What I do is season the ground turkey with mashed garlic gloves, chopped onions, chopped green peppers, chopped olives, salt to taste, black pepper to taste, add dry raisins to taste and the most important ingredient is pouring half fresh sour orange juice. Blend well and leave it for at least 1 hour in the fridge. Then cook slow in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cover till done. Serve with white rice.
I also use this as turkey burgers and my kids love it (I just take the green peppers out, since they do not like it with green peppers

Here is a link to a video on how to make homemade burgers. It's a quick, easy recipe and the burgers turn out delicious. Best of all, you can use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
http://www.associatedcontent.com/video/477750/how_to_make_homemade_burgers.html?cat=22
What I do it brown two packages of the turkey in the bottom of a large pot. Once that's done, I drain the grease then add 4 large sliced carrots, 2 cups of rice-brown or white- and add garlic powder. Then I fill the pot with just enough water to cover the whole thing and cook over med heat for about 2 hours-stirring every now and then so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot
Maybe its just a mind thing, but how have you tried it? It makes good chili and turkey burgers, you can really add anything to it. Paula Deen has a good recipe for goulash using a combo of ground beef and turkey. If you like I can supply that recipe for you, let me know
