Who's got a good ground turkey recipe?

I'm kinda trying to eat healthier lately, so the other day, I purchased a pound package of ground turkey at the market in place of my usual fatty ground beef coppage. It's been defrosting in my fridge since this morning, as I plan on cooking it up for dinner tonight. The problem is I'm feeling uninspired as far as recipes and preparations go. (I really don't want to make turkey burgers.) Any Meal Ticketers out there have good suggestions for easy, healthy, tasty recipes that use ground turkey? Link me in the comments, please!
I've used this recipe before and the addition of mayo in the burger is clutch. Enjoy! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=350695
I'd suggest making an Italian-style meat sauce, with some crushed tomatoes and fresh veg, or if you're feeling extra ambitious you could make stuffed cabbage.
Turkey tacos rock. Seems to absorb the taco flavor even better than beef, IMO.
You could try a turkey ragu though I don't see it beating a lamb ragu; would think it tough for the less intense flavors to come through amidst all the spices and wine in the tomato sauce, but it would be interesting to see how it turns out(maybe the recipe is floating around for a good reason). Turkey meat loaf was my 2nd thought.
I make these awesome mozzarella-stuffed meatballs with ground turkey. Sorry for the approx measurements, a la Rachael Ray. In a bowl, mix pound of ground turkey with... 1 egg 1 handful parm cheese 1 handful chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 handful chopped basil leaves 1 tbsp. grated lemon zest 1 chopped garlic clove (or 2 if you like it garlicky) 2 dashes Worcestershire Splash balsamic vinegar Splash olive oil Salt and Pepper to taste Chili flakes to taste Mix by hand, form into tangerine-sized balls. Make a deep impression with your thumb into each ball, and tuck a cube of mozzarella (smoked is nice) into the center. Pinch ends closed and roll in hands to reform meatball shape. In a hot pan with olive oil, sear meatballs on each side till caramelized (2-3 minutes per side), add tomato sauce and simmer till meatballs are firm to the touch, approx 20 minutes. Serve with or without pasta, garnished with chopped basil and parsley.
i agree with danya -- turkey tacos are pretty delicious (although i don't know if dumping a package of ortega into a pan of cooked ground turkey counts as a "recipe"). i like mine with avocado, heirloom tomatoes and queso fresco (not that that's healthy).
simple, easy, no idea on the health quality, but it works: stuff a turkey burger with a slice of feta (keeps it from drying out like turkey burgers often can). coat the burger with salt, pepper, cumin (mostly cumin in the spice blend), and some paprika. cook. put in a pita. cucumbers make it refreshing. tomato jam (the NY Times had a recipe) adds a tasty sweetness.
I recommend Sloppy Gobblers (that's my horrible name for Turkey Sloppy Joes). I usually just make it to taste with bell peppers, onions, garlic, honey (and/or brown sugar), worcestershire sauce, canned tomatoes, and a little tomato sauce. Oh man, that made me really hungry. Last week, I made some freaking great Turkey Tacos, but for the life of me I can't remember what I did.
I'm going to Reading Terminal and picking up turkey meat, Gorgonzola, and some buns from Metropolitan Bakery, and eating this whether you are or not.
Make turkey burgers with spinach and feta in the patties and season with something like Worcestershire or maybe soy sauce. I've made this a bunch of different ways because it's so easy to experiment with.
On top of pancakes!!!! Okay, I'm done. I think.
Turkey Gobblers sounds so obscene, but I second the suggestion of turkey sloppy joes. I add chipotle peppers or powder to it usually.
Kibby, Pure genius!!! I have chipotle pepper flakes at home, and that's what made the greatest Turkey Tacos. So glad you suggested that. This is going to be a great meal. I am really excited about dinner now.
I know you have a copy of Almost Meatless in that office. P. 38 (Sloppy Joes) P. 41 (Turkey-Pinto Pie) P. 43 (Turkey Lasagna) Recipes where you can easily sub turkey for beef or pork: P. 80 (Pot stickers) P. 85 (Chili) P. 99 (Spinach and Chickpea Pouches) P. 112 (Albondigas) Happy Cooking.
I'm making Adam's cheese-stuffed turkey meatballs. Damn, this is a hungry post.
Wow, thanks for all these great suggestions! Will report back tomorrow on what I decide to do. I'm thinking Sloppy Gobblers is a frontrunner...
Well, here are some pics from the Sloppy Gobbler. I topped one with crumbled Buttermilk Blue Cheese from Salumeria, and the other with Sour Cream. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjmemay/sets/72157619526874358/
