Ground Turkey?

Question

I bought ground turkey to make turkey burgers that come out great but does anyone have any great, easy recipes with ground turkey?

Answer 1

you can pretty much substitute it for anything you would use ground beef for.

Answer 2

Turkey Burger's

1 clove garlic
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, plus 1 teaspoon
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce
14 ounces lean 93% ground turkey meat
6 ounces lean ground sirloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper
4 whole-wheat buns or pita bread, toasted
Garnishes:
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Mustard
Ketchup


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with some salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic with the balsamic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a small bowl.

Crumble the turkey and beef into a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic mixture over the meat and form into 4 (5-ounce) burgers. Cover and set aside while you cook the onions.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Season the onions with the remaining teaspoon of balsamic and salt and pepper, to taste.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for a minute. Brush 1 side of the burgers with the oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook seasoned side down until browned, about 2 minutes. Brush and season the top of the burgers, flip and cook until other side is brown, about 2 minutes more.

Transfer burgers to a baking dish and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted side ways into the burgers registers 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Place the burgers on the buns or in pita and let rest for a few minutes. Serve with the caramelized onions and garnishes of your choice

Answer 3

I often interchange ground turkey for ground anything. It is quite versatile, seeing as people eat with their eyes you can hardly tell the difference between it and other ground meat. This is good to know if you have children who are a little picky. Try making tacos, meatloaf and stuffed pepper with it use your favorite recipes. Since you did ask for an easy recipe here is mine.
Taco Soup
1 to 1 1/2 pounds ground round or turkey
1 med to large onion chopped
2 tbsp. oil
1 can corn-undrained
1 can black beans-undrained
1 can kidney beans-udrained
2 cans chopped tomatoes with chiles
1 can tomato sauce (regular size)
1 envelope taco seasoning
PREPARATION:
Add chopped onion to hot oil in fry pan. Cook until tender; add ground meat and cook until no longer pink. Drain well and transfer to crockpot. Add corn, black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning; stir well.
Cook on low for four to six hours. When serving, top soup with broken taco chips and shredded cheddar cheese.

Answer 4

GROUND TURKEY MEATLOAF
======================

Ingredients:
------------
1 lb ground turkey
6 tblsp bread crumbs
1 8 oz tomato sauce
2 tblsp dried onion flakes
1 tblsp prepared mustard
1/2 tsp chile powder

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 350 F.

In large bowl mix all of the above. Pat into a loaf pan and bake for
about 1 hour or until done.

You can also use the microwave. But pat the meat mixture into a "bundt"
type pan.

I then use the temperture probe and cook until the loaf is at 190
degrees. About half way through I rotate the meat and move the probe
over to the undercook part of the meatloaf. You may not have to do
this--I have a very old microwave (11 years)



SHEPARD'S PIE
=============

Ingredients + Instructions:
---------------------------

In a 9" pie shell add

1 pound of cooked meat
leftover roast (beef/pork/turkey) or
browned ground (beef/turkey)
1 cup cooked carrots (or peas/corn/etc.)
1/2 cup chopped or pearl onions
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup gravy/broth/au jus
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt (optional)

Cover with mashed potatoes

Bake at 350 until the potatoes are well browned.

I've made a vegetarian version with just mushrooms, onions, broccoli and
carrots.

I usually use the Knorr Pepper Sauce mix for the gravy. It has a nice
kick.



TURKEY AND BULGAR LOAF
======================
(Serves 8 to 10)

Ingredients:
------------
1 cup bulgar
2.25 cups water
2 lbs ground turkey
1 large yellow onion, peeled and minced
0.5 medium red or green pepper, cored, seeded and minced (optional)
3 eggs
1 cup beef or chicken broth, milk or water (the broth and water
will make a softer, moister loaf than the milk which
coagulates as the meatloaf bakes)
0.25 cups ketchup, tomato paste or tomato sauce
0.75 tsp salt
0.25 tsp pepper
0.25 tsp crumbled leaf marjoram
0.25 tsp crumbled leaf thyme

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 325 F.

Boil the bulgar gently in the water in a covered saucepan for 20 to 25
minutes, until fluffy-tender. Cook for 15 minutes, then mix with
remaining ingredients, using your hands. Pack into a well-greased 9x5x3
inch loaf pan and bake uncovered for 1.5 hours or until the loaf is
nicely browned and pulls slightly from the sides of the pan

Cool the loaf upright in its pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then
turn our and serve.

You can wait less than 30 minutes for it to cook, but it has a tendenacy
to fall apart. Still tastes good though!



TURKEY MEATLOAVES SIMPLY SCRUMPTIOUS
====================================

Ingredients:
------------
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tblsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tomatoes, peeled/seeded/chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 tsp dried basil, crumbled
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 zucchini, scrubbed/trimmed/chopped
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 lbs ground turkey
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 tsp white pepper
1 large whole egg, beaten lightly
2 large egg whites, beaten lightly

In a saucepan cook half the onion and the garlic in the oil over
moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened. Add the
tomatoes, oregano, dried basil and the wine, and simmer the tomato
sauce, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. In a food processor chop
fine the remaining onion with the bell pepper and the zucchini. In a
large bowl combine the chopped vegetables with the tomato sauce,
parsley, fresh basil, turkey, bread crumbs, white pepper, whole egg, egg
whites and salt to taste. Divide the mixture between two loaf pans 8
1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. Bake the meat loaves in a pre-heated 350
oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serves 8-10.
