Reasons to love ground turkey
Ground turkey is one of my favorite dishes to cook with, especially for lightened home cooking. You will love using it in recipes because it:
- Packed with lean protein
- Super versatile and the perfect substitute for beef (if you’re looking to cut down on red meat)
- Easy to cook and season to prepare your favorite recipes
I’ve broken down these ground turkey recipes into chilies and soups, meatballs and meatloafs, burgers, patties and sandwiches, delicious pasta recipes, and fun home cooking that are perfect for feeding the whole family or making meal preps. If you have ground beef on hand instead, feel free to use that! They are interchangeable.
Enjoy these dishes as they are or with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
