11 Tasty Recipes Using Ground Turkey
- Turkey Zucchini Boats - Minimal ingredients required for this simple ground turkey recipe. It reminds me of a stuffed pepper, but personally I like the zucchini way more.
- Zesty Turkey Meatballs - Slightly different from your traditional Old Fashioned Italian Meatball flavored with a little balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, tarragon, and feta cheese, but they taste amazing!
- Spinach Turkey Feta Burgers - I mean it when I say these are BURSTING with flavor. On a brioche bun is my favorite way to serve these burgers.
- Skinny Turkey Enchiladas - A hands off approach to your Taco Tuesday menu. Roll them on up and throw in the oven for 25 minutes before diving in.
- Healthy One Pot Pasta - A reader favorite but I’m not surprised because it’s SO easy and SO simple. You don’t even have to drain the pasta for this one pot meal!
- Jalapeño Ranch Taco Salad - All of the Mexican flavors with this one with some added heat, but then add some ranch to keep it cool too 😉
- Turkey Sweet Potato Chili - A cozy comfort food that’s also packed with nutrients. Also, did i mention it's a crockpot recipe.
- Baked Feta Spaghetti Squash Casserole - Yes, like the Tik Tok feta pasta, but make it macro friendly.
- Taco Salad Bowl - Tacos are fun and all, but sometimes I like to throw it in a bowl and call it a day. The seasoning used in this bowl is *chef’s kiss*.
- Game Day Nachos - The more toppings the better when it comes to nachos, in my opinion. So load ‘em up!!
- Mini Burger Skewers - These feature a combination of juicy ground turkey with zesty Italian seasoning and tangy condiments all loaded onto a skewer for easy serving.
