Something With Ground Turkey

Since i'm on this elimination diet, I really can't eat much. But I can eat turkey and chicken.

I was walking the dogs this morning and somebody was making hamburgers. Mmm. So I really want to make something with ground turkey, but I'm not sure what - especially since my choices of ingredients are so very, VERY limited.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I CAN eat

rice, onions, garlic, mushrooms, green beans, peas/peapods, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, sweet potatoes, fresh herbs/spices, almond milk...

Umm....or just see the list in my signature for what I can't eat right now.

Thanks!

Courtney

turkey burger (bunless) with sauteed mushrooms is always fun.

or ground turkey (with garlic, onions, and some veggies - maybe carrots or broccoli) served over rice (like pasta sauce, but without tomatoes - you may find recipes for things like this in italian cookbooks)

a 'casserole' type dish with ground turkey, cubed sweet potaotes, celery, carrots, onion, and thanksgiving related spices.

a soup with ground turkey and veggies (maybe rice too?)

Oh, this post was sooooo meant for me because ground turkey is the only ground meat i use. Now, where shall i begin:

1) Meatloaf: mix 2 paks ground turkey, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 small diced onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and either 2 slices of ener-g bread diced or 3/4 cups gluten-free cornflakes. Shape into a meatloaf, cover with foil, and bake on 400 degrees for one hour, then uncover and bake an additional 25 minutes. (**The leftovers are great for sandwiches too!)

2) Stuffed Peppers: 4 large green peppers cut in half, cored out, and washed. Mix around 4 cups of cooked rice, one pak ground turkey, 1 medium chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stuff the peppers with the mixture. Place stuffed peppers into a baking pan and pour 5 cans of tomatoe sauce over the top of the peppers. Sprinkle over with salt and a little oregano. Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

3) Chili or taco chili: **Follow any chili recipe on this site and substitute the ground beef with the ground turkey.

4) Meatballs and Pasta: Follow the same recipe for meatloaf but shape into smaller balls. Rice pasta is really good and Prego Traditional Sauce is naturally gluten free.

5) Sloppy Joes: Brown 2 paks ground turkey in a skillet with one medium chopped onion. Add 1/2 bottle of Sweet Baby Rays (my favorite is the hickory smoked flavor but their all gluten-free) and 1/2 cup ketchup. Warm through for about 5-10 mintutes, and serve on favorite ener-g bread or buns.

6) Tacos: Brown 2 paks ground turkey with 1 small-medium chopped onion. Add 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve over brown rice tortillas or corn tortillas. I eat mine with tofutti sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and sometimes salsa. You can also make homemade mexican rice with these.

7) Enchiladas: Brown meat like for tacos. Mix 2 cups fresh cilantro and 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans into the hot meat. Roll mixture in brown rice tortillas or corn tortillas. Place in baking pan and cover with enchilada sauce. Bake for 10-15 minutes on 350 degrees.

8) Goulash: Brown 1 pak of ground turkey with 1 small chopped onion. Place in large cooking pot and add in chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, chopped green peppers, and possibly some of your favorite veggies. (it's kind of like a hobo stew)

I hope some of these help...i forgot to read your signature list B)

I love turkey burgers

Here's my recipe:

Open Original Shared Link

I don't even bother putting them on a bun, I eat them as if they were a steak or a chicken breast, with a vegetable and a grain on the side. I do like them with ketchup, though.

The great thing about ground turkey is it's so cheap.

I make all different variations of meatballs with ground turkey, i.e. minced garlic, onion, chopped fresh parsley, and italian seasonings ..... or minced garlic, onion, and chopped fresh spinach. The sky is really the limit the different combination you can do with fresh herbs and fresh greens. You can put in some cooked rice in place of the bread crumb substitution too (about 1/3 c of rice per pound of turkey).

Same with turkey hamburgers, and meatloafs.

I often just brown ground turkey and throw in garlic, onions, sea salt, and italian seasonings and toss with rice pasta and olive oil (a no tomato version)

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By trents · Posted

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms improve. It may be the only way you can ascertain if you are gluten intolerant because of the low total IGA.

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By Cat M · Posted

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now. I did SIBO testing this morning. TTG IGA <2   0-3 is negative TTG IGG  3   0-5 is neg DGP IGA 21    20-30 is weak positive DGP IGG 4    0-19 is negative Although total IGA is not resulted, there is a footnote stating it was low and the reason they ran IGG.

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting case. A positive tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody with a negative endomysial antibody (EMA) and normal duodenal histology can present a diagnostic challenge, especially in an asymptomatic patient. While the absence of villous atrophy and negative EMA suggest that the likelihood of active celiac disease is low at this time, such serological discordance may still warrant monitoring. Some individuals may be in the early stages of celiac disease, often referred to as potential celiac disease, particularly if they carry the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 haplotypes. HLA typing can be quite helpful in this situation; a negative result would virtually rule out celiac disease, whereas a positive result may justify periodic follow-up to monitor for evolving disease. The risk of progression to overt celiac disease is not well defined but appears to be higher in children, those with a family history, or those with autoimmune conditions. In this case, routine follow-up including repeat serology and consideration of symptoms or new risk factors over time would be a reasonable and cautious approach. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Have you tried to start a gluten-free diet since your diagnosis in 2019?

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen! Just curious, what is your relationship to the patient? Are you the attending physician? A medical student? A consulted physician? Was a total IGA test ordered? Some physicians are under the dated and mistaken impression that such is only necessary in young children. If total IGA is low, other IGA antibody numbers will be artificially depressed. By the way, it is not unusual to have a positive TTG-IGA and a negative EMA. Are the TTG-IGA numbers borderline high or unequivocally high? There are other diseases and medical conditions that can cause elevated TTG-IGA numbers besides celiac disease but when this is the case, the numbers are usually not dramatically elevated. It can also be the case that villous damage was patchy and affected areas were missed during the biopsy. Or, onset of celiac disease was very recent and villous atrophy has not yet progressed to the point of detectability.  We also have occasional anecdotal reports in this online community of positive antibody testing with negative histology, as you report. But we also know that gluten intolerance can manifest itself apart from enteropathy. It can damage other organ systems. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning there is an absence or a relative absence of symptoms until the disease has become advanced and there is significant damage to the villous lining or other organ systems. But to answer your questions: 1. I would definitely pursue a routine follow-up and recheck of the antibodies. And, I would order a complete celiac panel including total IGA and IGG stuff in say, six months. Sooner if symptoms manifest. 2. It is impossible to say what is the risk of the future development of over celiac disease. I refer you back to my #1 above concerning rechecking.  3. I would definitely pursue HLA DQ2/DQ8 typing as it can be used as a rule out for celiac disease, though not quite with 100% dependability. I hope my thoughts prove helpful to you.
