Ground Turkey Recipes?

I am in need of some ground turkey recipes. I am not a big fan of red meat, however I do love a good steak!

I already substitute ground beef for ground turkey for the usual - tacos, burgers, baked pasta dishes such as lagsana and ziti.. However I am looking for alternative ideas.

I am somewhat of a picky eater - no condiments whatsoever, no salad dressing, no peppers or anything too exotic. I love veggies, pasta and cheese. LOL

Thanks!

Check out Rachel Ray.com or the chew.com. They have several! My hubby won't eat it no matter how I fix it and I've tried. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't fool him.

I make turkey meat loaf.

1 lb ground turkey

1 egg

minced onion

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup milk

1 small can tomato sauce

Mix all together shape in 1 or 2 loaves and place in open flat baking dish.

Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until done(not sure about time)

I'm the kind of cook who just wings lots of meals.

Makes a good sandwich when cold.

turkey meat balls

use any meat ball recipe just substitute turkey instead of beef.

Use meat balls with pasta or in stroganoff.

A fast alternatives for cabbage rolls. Hope you like it.

Ground turkey cooked in taco seasoning. Put it on a bed of iceburg lettuce with a couple spoonfuls of salsa and sour cream. It's fast and tasty.

I LOVE my turkey chili! I use Mccormick low sodium Chili Seasoning mix and substitute turkey for beef. It's the best!

You guys are great! Thanks for the ideas I will definitely be doing some meal planning.

I much prefer ground turkey to ground beef, although I still love the occasional old-fashioned, grilled hamburger. Turkey hotdogs are MUCH better than beef weenies.

I don't follow a recipe, but I make my pasta sauce using ground turkey, tomatoes, onions, garlic, rosemary, and assorted Italian herbs from our garden, mushrooms,black olives, wine a dab of mustard and tons of parmesan cheese. I love it so thick that the sauce stands on top of the pasta.

I'm with Liz! I also love turkey chilli I make it with the slow cooker McCormick seasoning mix, diced bell peppers and onions (put the peppers and onions in with the turkey while it browns, then add the seasoning mix)... then put that in the crock pot and add bush's beans, petited diced tomatoes (like them much better than regular diced tomatoes), and tomatoe sauce

I'm going to have to start making my own low-fat turkey chili... I love it, but the canned versions have too much fat and too many beans! Perhaps a turkey black bean chili...mm-mm good!

You're going to love it Susanne - no grease and very little fat. And with the low sodium chili mixes that are now available, it's REALLY good! Jill - I'll have to try it in a crock pot!
