Hi,

I am always looking for good ground turkey recipes since I am trying to use it instead of ground beef now. But I get bored with the same old recipes for chili, turkey loaf, etc. Does anyone have a good recipe they want to share?

Here's my favorite turkey chili recipe. It is delicious, and very healthy.

 1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves (or 2 tsp) minced garlic

2 sm. cans chopped mild chili peppers

1/4 tsp white pepper (or to taste)

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)

1 can chicken broth (or more if desired)

3 cans cannellini (white) beans

Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Directions:

Add chicken broth until meat mixture is just covered. Take thrid can of beans (do not drain) and puree in blender until smooth; add to meat mixture. Simmer for about 15 add'l minutes.

I substitute ground turkey for all of my recipes that call for ground beef. I have made chili, meatloaf, spaghetti, ground turkey stew with lots of vegetables, grilled turkey burgers, sloppy joes, taco's or enchiladas, different casseroles and ground turkey steaks (normally called hamburger steaks)

Here is the recipe for Ground Turkey steak... it is easy

 1 lb ground turkey

1/4 C chopped onion

1/4 C chopped mushrooms

1 egg

1/2 C raw Quick oatmeal

1 t pepper

Mix together to make patties. Cook on stove top with a little olive oil so it will not stick to pan. After cooked throughly, mix together 1 can cream of mushroom soup and some milk to make a gravy. Pour on top of patties and simmer. Serve with mashed potatoes.

My husband is diabetic so here's a noodle-less lasagna.

1 lb ground turkey, cooked

1 jar marinara sauce, or homemade

2 packages frozen, chopped spinach, thawed - I steam it to separate.

16 oz Ricotta cheese

Shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese

Spray 8x8 pan with Pam. Cook turkey and stir in sauce. Squeeze excess water from spinach and mix with ricotta cheese in bowl. Put spinach/ricotta mixture in pan and pour sauce over it. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top. Heat in 350 oven for 1 hour.
