Does any one have any good recipes for Ground Turkey?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I pretty much use ground turkey as I would ground beef in any recipe. But turkey meat loaf is a challenge because of not aws mucyh fat to hold it together. So, I have to add extra bread crumbs or cracker crumbs or oatmeal to help it holds its shape before baking. Also add some extra amounts of spices too
 
Thanks..
I prefer it to the quite crappy ground beef i can get here and i really want meat loaf tommrow..
Does it work for stuffed peppers?
 
Cool...

I attempted to make a recipe with Ground chicken to night and it came out like crap... Turkey seems to work better.. I guess it's time to break out the pans and have fun..
 
For meat-loaf IMHO you must use a pound of beef always with and a pound of turkey OR chicken, OR pork OR lamb.

2 lbs ground meat
8 oz (230 ML) tomato sauce, canned or equivalent
1 cup bread crumbs (as needed, for consistency)
2 eggs
1 envelope (Lipton brand) onion soup mix (or onion and salt and pepper)

350*f for one hour in oven. A bit of water (up to a cup) may be added to form the loaf as needed when cooked in a conventiional oven.

or 30 minutes in microwave. Form into a ring with a hole in the center. (Meat is supposed to be 12 minutes per pound in the nuker; extra time is for good measure!)

USELESS TIDBIT: Due to evenly distributed fat, which attracts microwaves, grond meat esp. beef. trnds to cook well and browm well in a nuker.

 
I have a "thing" against tomato sauce or ketsut baked on meatloaf (can we say burned). How my mom made it evertytime. I dind't know what meatloaf tasted like without that charred flavor until I went to college and made it on my own. Right up there with liver, it's grounds for divorce lol.
 
Gristle...Thats the word...Not fatty, gristley.. Such crap they sell in the grocery stores and charge $3 or 4 for two pounds

I made 3 in one the other night and it was sooo gristley and nasty...

Fyi: 3 in 1 is a dish i can only imagine grams having invented...

Its basicly 1 lb ground beef, 1 can stewed tomatos, a lttle tomatao paste, onions, green peppers, and a little celery...Put over some elbows and voila instant dinner

Tommrow night: The 86 proof cake and the meat loaf
I never bothered to look at the side of the onion soup mix, then again it never dawned on me to use it in meatloaf..

I will have to happy old people here tommrow.. They love there rum!
 
Ground Meat

When you buy ground beef in a chub (The plastic tube) it is often imported. What is ground in the store from their own trim is most often on the styrofoam tray with shrink wrap.
Check the label and fat content on turkey and chicken. The affordable ground products are often higher in fat than beef and contain skin. It also has a bit of a mushy texture. TVP Texturized Vegetable Protien can be added to meat loaf as an extender. Low fat meatloaf is great, you just need to make sure you don't overcook it or it dries out.
