Something With Ground Turkey

[Corkdarrr]

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!

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

OOPS!! So much for all those recipes with the tomatoes in them

I love turkey burgers

Here's my recipe:

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)

Thank you all SO much! I'm really excited for lunch tomorrow even though I haven't quite decided what to make yet.
