New and different recipes for ground turkey?

We're all dieting in the house, and I pulled a pound of ground turkey out of the freezer. I want to make something different with it tonight so that it's not boring or the same old. No burgers, meatballs, or replacement for beef recipes. And I want them to be somewhat dietetic. Thanks in advance.New and different recipes for ground turkey?
Well you don't want beef replacement recipes, but what do you think ground turkey is doing? Its replacing beef. Why else would you buy it?


Anyway, I just made this last night and its a Mexican Meatloaf.

1 small onion, diced


1 small green bell pepper, diced


1 small can of diced green chiles

1 egg


1/2 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed


1 cup of crushed tortilla chips, divided

I was going to give you my favorite recipe for turkey meatballs made with fennel, but now I have to think about it after reading your no meatballs rule....





I like taco salad made with turkey. Sorry if you think it's a beef substitute idea. But it's very healthy. Especially if you substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream and avacadoes for the cheese. Serve it in a regular bowl instead of a tortilla bowl and use lots of mexican style chilli beans. Toss lightly with Catalina dressing.
I made a middle easter style dish with ground turkey and made it sort of like meat loaf.





Use skewers if they are wooden its a good time to soak them now (at least for 20 min in water so they won't burn!)


open a package of ground turkey and place in a bowl


add some chopped garlic about 2-3 cloves


parsley


finely diced onion or if no onion use onion powder


worstershire sauce 1/3 cup


one egg beaten


1/3 cup soy sauce


ground black pepper


1 pinch of cinnamon (or omit it if you dont' like it)


cumin


squirt of honey 1tbsp


mix together and add some breadcrumbs to it..make sure they are plain bread crumbs





take your skewers and hold in one hand and create long cigar shaped meatloves and place on the skewers (it will look sort of like a raw corn dog!)





place in a baking sheet and cook at 375 for about 25 min.


I served this with some couscous it was great kept with the middle easter flavors as well.
These are really good. It's all an approximation though





Sautee the turkey with about 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 can waterchesnuts, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tsp. brown sugar, 3 - 4 tbsp. soy sauce until the turkey is done.





In a bowl mix together 2 tbsp. corn starch, 1/4 c. soy sauce, and 1 tbsp. fresh ginger. Pour this on the turkey and let cook for about 3 minutes. At the very end add about 1 tsp. sesame oil.





Put this mixture in lettuce, top with fresh grated carrots, and if you like crunchy Chinese noodles.





They're great!
You can make a sort-of goulash/stir-fry type dish...


Brown and drain the ground turkey, then add in any vegetables that you may like (I did it most recently with broccoli, green peppers, carrots, yellow and green summer squash, and corn). cook until the veggies are nice and tender and even add in some stir-fry style sauce if you like. Serve over brown rice or couscous.

Throw the turkey in the bin and have a dominos pizza made with the low-fat cheese delivered.
I always make turkey stuffed cabbage rolls with a bacon glaze. Cooking Light has an amazing recipe for this dish that I use a lot.
