Ground Turkey

I always use ground Turkey in place of ground hamburger meat because it's healthier and not greasy like hamburger meat and I'm not suppose to eat anything greasy for health reasons so I have learn to cook with ground turkey. Yes you can use it in spaghetti,tacos,nachos and sloppy joes!:).. When we have Mexican food night we use ground turkey meat with a package of Taco seasoning and it taste great. To keep you're ground turkey from becoming too dry don't drain it after you cook it, the water in the skillet keeps the turkey moist and more juicy. if you want to drain it after you cook it just drain a little bit of the juice, but I always leave it in because it's not greasy and it keeps the turkey meat moist.

I read this and thought 'ground turkey'??? Are there tree turkeys as well? I thought all turkeys lived on the ground! I would agree that it's kinda dry ... all turkey meat is by nature. I think I would cook it up with mushrooms and tomato and maybe some root vegetables, put that in a pie dish and cover with mashed potato (and you might add pumpkin or sweet potato to the mash as well as a bit of cheese or spice).

I have not used ground turkey before, but I would think it should be ok to use in the same types of recipes as ground beef. You could try using it in chili or maybe make turkey burgers. You could try checking out some recipe websites and see what you find. Allrecipes is really good ( www.allrecipes.com ) you can search by ingredients and the recipes are rated too.

You can really use ground turkey for anything that you can use ground beef for. The flavor is a little different, but different doesn't mean bad. The only things I don't really recommend it for are meatloaf or cheeseburgers. I've used it for tacos, chili, sloppy joes, spaghetti sauce with meat, meatballs, and stroganoff. You can use it with a box of hamburger helper, too, if you don't feel like "real" cooking. One thing that I do to make it more flavorful is to add some beef broth or bouillon to the pan just after you've browned the ground turkey, and simmer it for a couple of minutes. It adds a little moisture and also makes the turkey taste a little more like ground beef. It usually doesn't add any fat content, although it will add sodium so use a low-sodium broth if that's an issue. This works well for tacos, chili, and sloppy joes.

Hi bunnies Good day, my friend...I think ground turkey is a healthy choice.. want to make a juicy turkey burger..Well, you can mix the ground raw turkey with onion soup mix, some soft bread crumbs, beat up an egg, some worcestershire sauce, some minced garlic and black pepper... mix them well, shape into patties, warp and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend.. Grill it, serve them as your usual way of serving burger...it tastes better than beef...Happy enjoying.. Have a Nice Day!!

I buy the frozen ground turkey all the time and use it for any ground beef recipe. It's delicious. I use it for meat loaf, meatballs, tacos, and chili.

You can use ground turkey in any recipe that you would normally use ground hamburger. If you add a bit of chopped bacon to it this will make it more moist.

Anything you would use ground beef. But if you make burgers, make sure to use fat and lots of seasoning!

You can use ground turkey for anything you'd use ground beef for. Just add some finely minced onion or a little olive oil to keep it from getting too dry. It makes fabulous burgers, meatloaf and anything else you would make from ground beef. If you're makeing burgers or meatloaf work the mixture as little as possible. The less you work it the more moisture it will retain.
