Anyone know any good recipes involving ground turkey?

Besides nachos because I don't have any cheese. I don't have the ingredients for chili either. Ground turkey is the only meat in the house so I have to think of something...Thank you guys for your help.Anyone know any good recipes involving ground turkey?
Just about anything that you can make with ground beef will work with the turkey! Try making Swedish Meatballs in a sour cream sauce served on noodles or a meatloaf or caserole with veggies and tomato sauce. Makes great Chili and stuffed peppers, too.Anyone know any good recipes involving ground turkey?
do NOT do spaghetti , w/ turkey it's gross , seriously , i forgot the first time + did it twice .
Actually, you can substitute this for any recipe that calls for ground beef. It's just less fattening.
strogonaff just use cream of mushroom soup mushroom and mix them and pour it over the crumbled cooked ground turkey and pour over pasta
Sloppy Joes, hamburgers, meatballs.
Just sub your turkey meat for beef in metballs, meat loaf, tacos, beef enchiladas or spaghetti meat sauce.








PORK AND GINGER POTSTICKERS





2 cups chopped napa cabbage


1/2 tablespoon salt


1/2 pound ground pork (Don't get lean pork, the fat is good for juicy and flavorful dumplings)


2 tablespoons minced ginger


1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic


2 tablespoons thin soy sauce


3 tablespoons sesame oil


1 egg


Round wonton wrappers


1 to 2 cups chicken stock or water





Sprinkle cabbage with the 1/2 tablespoon of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Place the cabbage on a clean dishtowel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any water. The dryer the cabbage the better. In a large bowl thoroughly mix the cabbage with all of the other ingredients, except the chicken stock. Cook a tester to check the seasoning.





MAKING THE DUMPLINGS: Place a small mound of filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Be very careful not to touch the edges with the filling as this will impede proper sealing of the dumplings. Nothing is worse than dumplings breaking during cooking.) Fold the wrapper in half to form a half moon shape. Starting on one end fold/pinch the wrapper tightly together. Proceed with this fold/pinch method until the dumpling is completely sealed. There will be approximately 10 to 14 folds per dumpling. Rest the dumplings with the folded edges straight up.





COOKING THE DUMPLINGS: In a hot saute pan coated well with oil, place pot stickers flat side down and cook until the bottom is browned. Have pan cover ready and add 1 cup of chicken stock, cover immediately. Be careful, the liquid will splatter! The stock will steam the pot stickers. Check them in 5 minutes as more stock may be needed. The trick here is that once the dumplings are firm and fully cooked the stock will evaporate and the bottoms will crisp-up again.





For Dipping Sauce:


1/4 cup red-wine vinegar


1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce


2 tablespoons sugar


1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil


1 scallion, thinly sliced


2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger root


1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes


----------------------------------
You can make pasta with it.
meatloaf. Spaghetti- in spaghetti you can't tell the difference between ground beef and turkey.
White Chili





1 onion, chopped


3 cloves garlic, minced


1 1/2 pounds ground turkey


2 (4 ounce) cans canned green chile peppers, chopped


1 tablespoon ground cumin


1 tablespoon dried oregano


ground cayenne pepper to taste


ground white pepper to taste


3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans


5 cups chicken broth


2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese





In a large pot over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic and ground turkey and saute for 10 minutes, or until turkey is well browned. Add the chile peppers, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper to taste and white pepper to taste and saute for 5 more minutes.


Add two cans of the beans and the chicken broth to the pot. Take the third can of beans and puree them in a blender or food processor. Add this to the pot along with the cheese. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
I make meatballs with ground turkey. you can also cook it crumbled with pasta. Basically anything you do with ground beef you can do with ground turkey including hamburgers.
I made a ground turkey meat loaf last week and it was wonderful. Use your best recipe for meatloaf and it should be great.
