i bought some ground turkey?

Question

what now?

can anyone tell me a simple delicious way to prepare it?

i've never tried it before..

Answer 1

I use ground turkey to replace anything that would normally call for ground beef. It is MUCH more healthy and now that I have been using it for years- it's a lot tastier as well.

Use it for spaghetti, tacos (or taco salad), to make hamburgers, in breakfast for dinner burritos and anything else you can think of :)

Answer 2

Yakisoba - a Japanese fried noodle dish.

You can usually find packets of yakisoba noodles with the sauce in the produce section of your store. Or, if you have an Asian market near you, you can just get a bottle of yakisoba sauce, and your favorite pre-cooked noodles. I like soba, myself, but udon, or even regular old ramen or spaghetti also works well. Just make sure the noodles have been cooked (boiled) so that they're soft before using them.

Cook the turkey until it's brown. Dump it out, but leave some grease in the pan.

Slice up a large carrot, an onion, and a green pepper and cook in the turkey grease until slightly soft.

Add the turkey back to the pan. Place the noodles on top and add about 1/2 cup of water to the pan. The steam will help loosen up the noodles and finish cooking them. Stir to mix the noodles, turkey and veggies. Add the flavoring packets or sauce to the pan, and stir until everything is good and coated. You want to keep cooking until the water has mostly evaporated, leaving everything coated with the sauce.

Serve and enjoy.

Answer 3

The difference(why it's healthier) is that hamburger is RED MEAT... Turkey is WHITE MEAT. I buy ground turkey, but I look for Ground Turkey that is low in fat. Ground turkey breast is some of the leanest meat there is. Red meat is OK once in a while but white meat is better as part of a regular diet. Meat in general is something none of us should eat a lot of. When you go to a steakhouse and order an 8 ounce sirloin, you're ordering twice as much meat as what you should really eat in one meal. The high fat content is not good. The leaner the meat you buy, the better it is for your health. But don't eat too much. Star for your question Good luck

Answer 4

Funny you ask! I'm making this very recipe from my cook book as I answer this question.

Dave’s Dutch Tamale Pie

1 lb. ground turkey (try lean ground round)
1 ½ Tbs. chili powder
½ tsp. cumin

1 8 oz. can diced green chilies
1 ½ c. shredded Colby cheddar cheese
½ c. chicken broth
1 12 oz. box corn muffin mix (12 oz. Aunt Jemima corn bread mix from a 5 lb. bag)
½ c. milk
2 Tbs. melted butter or vegetable oil
1 large egg

In a 12” deep Dutch oven, brown turkey with chili powder,
cumin, and minced garlic. Add tomatoes, corn and chilies. Stir well. Add broth, stir. Layer cheese over the top of meat mixture.

Answer 5

One way I really enjoy it is to use it to make meatballs. (2 egg whites, soft breadcrumbs, salt, pepper) Then I bake them in the oven on a cookie sheet at 400 F for 20 minutes (meatballs have a diameter of about an inch). Then, I put them in tomato-based barbecue sauce. I serve it over rice.

You can also make sausage patties. Mix 1 pound of ground turkey with 1/2 tsp salt (or sea salt), 1/8 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (if you don't like heat in your sausage, use 1/4 tsp black pepper and skip the red pepper), and 2 tsp of ground sage. Mix it all together really well with your hands. Cook as you would sausage patties.

Answer 6

You can use it anyway that you'd use ground beef.
Brown it in oil, with some onions, & garlic, for starters.
You can turn it into spaghetti sauce with tomato sauce.
Or you can use any other kind of sauce you like.
Try mushroom soup, with chopped celery, diced peppers,
frozen peas, white rice, bake in a casserole at 350F.
Stir after 25 minutes, cook 45 minutes, until rice tender.
