never used to like chicken, until i learned how to cook it properly. i'm in the same situation with turkey, not very fond of it. but i'm sure with a good recipe even turkey can be made to taste good....so anyone have some recipes to share?

Do you mean turkey breast and thighs or ground turkey? I have a few recipes for the larger pieces, and for the ground turkey I use it just like ground beef.

Turkey Stir Fry
2 cups cooked turkey
4 cups broccoli
1 red pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
5 green onions, diced
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
10 cloves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chili sauce (Thai Kitchen)
2 tablespoon fish sauce (Thai Kitchen)
2 cups cooked basmatti rice
2 tablespoons olive oil

Cook vegetables, cloves, oil, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon fish sauce on high heat until the vegetables are tender. Add turkey and cook until the turkey is warm. Add rice and the rest of the soy sauce and fish sauce. Add chili sauce. Mix and Serve.

Turkey Soup
2 cups cooked turkey
3 cups Imagine chicken broth (add more if needed)
4-5 cups of water
3 carrots, diced
4 small celery sticks, diced
2 zucchini, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons Thyme (fresh or dry)
1-2 Tablespoons Mrs. Dash Original Spice
1 Tablespoon chili powder

Throw everything into a large pot, boil then quickly simmer for about an hour. Tomatoes and zucchini don’t have to go in right away.

I usually roast a whole breast and get many meals out of it. When I have leftovers I'll chop it up, add some celery and mayo, then throw in cashews right before I eat it. Almonds and dried cranberries go well too.

This works with Chicken or Turkey

INGREDIENTS
Chicken or Turkey (cubed)
Dill
2 lemons
1 cup of plain yogurt or substitute
salt n'pepper


LEMON DILL CHICKEN SALAD
Chop turkey or chicken into cubes
Boil in a mixture of water, lemon juice, and dill
Drain when cooked. Cool.

when chicken is cold:
add plain yogurt until chicken is coated
add fresh coarsely chopped dill
add juice of 1 lemon, and its zest
add Salt and pepper to taste
*************************************

Its a lovely cold salad, great for summer.
High in protein, very light.

It has dairy, but am sure you can substitute the yogurt with something else and get roughly the same fresh taste.
