Instead of using ground beef for a taco salad we used ground turkey but still used the taco seasoning %26amp; it tasted pretty good.Any good recipe ideas for ground turkey?
Meatballs
If you like, add beef bullion cubes to the milk and skip the liquid beef broth. Delicious with cooked pasta or as a meatball sandwich.
1 LB ground turkey
½ cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
½ cup Romano or Parmesan cheese, finely grated
¼ cup whole milk
¼ cup low-sodium beef broth
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried pepper flakes
Pinch nutmeg
Yield: about 16 golf-ball sized meatballs
Combine all ingredients and stir thoroughly with a fork.
Bake at 425F for 25 minutes or fry as desired.
To freeze: place raw meatballs on cookie sheet, 1 inch apart and freeze one hour. Pop the frozen meatballs off the tray and place in a zipper-type baggie. Roll up and return to freezer. To use, bake from frozen at 425F for 30 minutes.
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.

I like to make shepherd's pie with ground turkey, and this is how I make it:
Brown the turkey. Add some chopped onion and garlic (if you like onion and garlic) or other small vegetable pieces that you happen to have. Diced carrots, corn, peas, and chopped celery are all good. You can leave the veggies out too if you want. Add salt and pepper to taste and a bit of tomato paste if you happen to have any. While you're doing this make some mashed potatoes, either fresh or from a package depending on what you like. Add some grated cheese to the mashed potatoes. Put the turkey mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish and the potatoes on top. Bake at 350 F for 20-30 min, until the potatoes start to form a crust on top. Enjoy! This is a really flexible recipe and the quantities don't really matter. It just depends on what you have and what you like.
I made this once and it was good, but not special. When I do it again I think I will add some poultry seasoning to it. Good luck.
Turkey Marsala Casserole
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 20 ounce package of ground turkey breast
• 1 T olive oil
• Salt and pepper (don’t be shy here)
• 16 ounce box elbow macaroni
• 14 ounce can beef broth
• ¾ cup Marsala wine
• ½ cup flour
• ½ cup water
• 4 ounce jar of roasted red peppers, chopped
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Preheat the oven to 375
Boil the macaroni in plenty of boiling water, to package instructions, but leaving a little on the “al dente” firm side. Drain.
Meanwhile, brown the meat, onions and garlic in oil, with salt and pepper, until meat is cooked and onion is tender. Drain.
Bring beef broth and Marsala wine to a boil. Mix flour and water together and add slowly to liquid, whisking and returning to a boil after each time you add some. You want to thicken the mixture to a consistency of gravy.
Mix the meat mixture, the broth, the macaroni, the peppers, ½ cup of the cheese together. Load into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and put into the preheated oven for an hour.
Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and heat for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
I have found that you can use ground turkey with great success in any recipe calling for ground beef, with the exception, of course, of hamburgers. You may want to adjust the seaoning a bit and add a wee bit of salt. By the way, if you're moving to ground turkey to cut calories and fat you MUST read the label -- skinless white meat is way down on fat and calories, but other ground turkey is almost the same as ground beef!
You can make meat balls if you like.
Add some cracker crumbs, one egg, some soy sauce, fresh ground ginger, splash of hot sauce, dried oregano, salt, pepper--and make them into meat balls.
Fry those in a pan with some very hot olive oil--keep turning them so they're cooked on all areas.
You can make an accompanying sauce of your choice--something Asian goes well..maybe with orange juice (or a spoonful of marmalade is good too in lieu of the orange juice) and more ground ginger base and one chicken boullion cube for flavor--add a little water--you can also add the drippings from the fry pan where you cooked the meatballs--sans the grease).bring it to a light boil then turn heat down.....reduce that and add some corn starch to thicken--(not too much...add a bit at a time and keep cooking it on low till it thickens....)
Then serve those meatballs on a bed of white rice--spoon on some gravy and a side dish of green beans and a sundried and fresh boconcinni salad on the side.--%26gt;%26gt;
You make that salad with the cheese and fresh basil, olive oil, lemon juice, capers,chopped garlic, salt, pepper and soy sauce.

I make meatloaf with turkey! I like it better that way! Just get 1 lb ground turkey, 1 egg, about 3/4 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs, a little ketchup (to make it moist), garlic (and onion if your family likes it) and salt and pepper. I also grate 1/2 cup (or more) zucchini in also to sneak a little nutrition in! Mix well with your hands and form into a loaf and put in pan (some people like it in a loaf pan but I like it to get crispy on the top and the sides so I do it in a 9x13. Bake at 350 about 45 mins to 1 hour depending on your oven. YUM!
Turkey Croquettes- These are really good especially if you put turkey gravy over top of them when you are ready to eat.
1. In a saucepan, mix 1 - 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 onion diced fine; chunk of butter, salt, poultry seasoning and sage (all to taste) and bring to a boil. Thicken with cornstarch. Set aside.
2. Dice cooked chicken. Place in mixing bowl and add milk sauce and 1 well beaten egg.
3. Mix in cracker crumbs until solid (so that you can make croquette balls).
4. Roll balls in cracker crumbs - refrigerate.
5. Bake at 350 degrees until done.
This is a good recipe for leftover chicken or turkey. You can use as little or as much as you have.
Minced Turkey Roll.
1-1½ lbs. Turkey mince
Mushroom and Onion Stove Top Stuffing.
Roll turkey out on wax paper in a rectangle shape, 8 x 12 inches.
Prepare stuffing. Place on top of turkey, an inch from the end. Flatten down.
Roll the meat and stuffing up like a Swiss roll, using the wax paper to keep it together. Pull waxed paper off as you are rolling.
