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)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
