What is a good recipe with ground turkey?

I use it for any recipe that calls for hamburger. It makes excellent spaghetti sauce, chili, and taco meat. Turkey burgers are good but you can definitely tell you are not eating beef. I suppose you can also use it in hamburger helper type dishes and casseroles but I don't eat much of that stuff.





Ground turkey is a real money saver and is very healthy...a staple in my house.What is a good recipe with ground turkey?
We eat a lot of ground turkey, and my favorite is a turkey burger. Get some ground turkey (we use a combination of 85/15 and 93/7, but any will do.) Season it up with some salt and pepper, some Worcestershire sauce, and some grill seasoning (we use Lawry's - it has a combination of garlic/salt/pepper/spices/etc - very tasty!)





We put ours on a charcoal grill until it's just right - the smokiness adds to the flavor. Then go for your favorite bun or crusty bread with some fresh lettuce, tomato, mayo, whatever you like.





The good thing about turkey is it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook with it. So, put some good spices on it and you can make it delicious!What is a good recipe with ground turkey?
I make a soup using turkey meatballs...turkey, Hungarian paprika (great flavor) and fresh thyme. That's it. Drop them in simmering chicken stock and cook them until the internal temperature is 165...yes I check them with an instant read thermometer. Ground poultry needs to be cooked to that temperature for safety. When it is close to being done drop in thin strips of red bell pepper and broken vermicelli pieces. A quick, healthy and delicious soup.
I always make Shepherd's Pie with ground turkey. I loosely follow this recipe http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recip鈥?/a> but instead I'll do the following:


-Use red potatoes - scrub well and leave skins on while cooking. If no time, use packaged mashed potatoes such as 2 packages of Idahoan Baby Reds (see image below)


-Replace mirepoix (the onion, celery, and carrot) with a small bag of frozen corn


-Replace beef stock with chicken or vegetable stock





Obviously any other recipe using ground beef can be substituted with ground turkey. Check out some gr. turkey recipes here http://allrecipes.com/Search/Ingredients鈥?/a> Enjoy!
I second the tacos and the chili suggestions...Chili with Ground Turkey, Deer meat, Bear meat, and sausage is amazing!
Tacos!!!
