Ground Turkey Recipes

| Saturday, December 27, 2008 |
Our family recently moved ground meat of turkey. With minced meat over $ 2 per pound, we had to leave the bulk of eating hamburgers for a while. During a recent visit to the grocery store, I noticed that the turkey was half the price of ground meat, about 1 per pound. I decided to test, and our family loved the turkey. Honestly, you can not even tell the difference in taste, and it is very low in fat. There is almost no fat to remove from your stove. Here are some recipes our family adapted to our tastes:
Turkey Chili
1 tsp soup. vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 lb. ground turkey
4 cloves garlic, minced
V. 1-2 soup. chili powder
1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 15-oz. can black beans, drained
1 tsp tea. dried oregano
1 can corn (optional)
In a large soup pot, cook the onion, pepper, celery, and Turkey in oil until Turkey is cooked. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, beans and oregano and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add corn and simmer for 10 minutes. Serves 6.
Turkey Lasagna
1 tsp soup. vegetable oil
1 lb. ground turkey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
1 (14 1/2-oz.) Can tomatoes, chopped, reserve liquid
1 (6 oz.) Can tomato paste
2 1 / 2 c. tea. Italian seasoning
8 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 (12 oz.) Carton cottage cheese or Ricotta
3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
In a large skillet, cook onion, garlic, and Turkey in oil until Turkey is cooked. Add tomatoes with liquid, tomato paste and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
Lightly grease 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Spoon 1 / 3 sauce in the bottom of baking dish. Top with 4 lasagna noodles. Spoon ricotta or cottage on the noodles. Sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella cheese on top of cottage cheese. Spoon 1 / 3 sauce over cheese, top with the remaining noodles, then spoon remaining sauce over noodles. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Serves 8.
