Ground turkey is a lean protein that checks off all of the boxes: It's healthy, it's easy to cook, and it's filling. And, just like our favorite ground chicken recipes, these ground turkey recipes are both affordable and family-friendly, too. Here, you'll find creative new ways to use ground turkey in casserole recipes, soup recipes, and skillet dinners. Of course, if grilling recipes are what you're after, the signature turkey burger is always a hit. We've included plenty of variations, including Ree Drummond's turkey bagel burger and her Greek-style turkey burger that's served in a pita.
Whether you're looking for a healthy dinner idea or just a quick 30-minute meal that your family will love, you can't go wrong with these crowd-pleasing ground turkey recipes. In fact, ground turkey can do just about anything that ground beef recipes can do. You can use it as a base ingredient for pasta sauce, chili, and meatballs. Or, turn it into a filling for your favorite type of tacos. We even have a turkey lettuce wrap that's both flavorful and carb-free—perfect for when you want to eat something a little lighter. But don't get us wrong, these ground turkey recipes are still so satisfying—even a steak-loving cowboy would have to agree!
