If you enjoy cooking with ground turkey, please read on!
Here are 15 ground turkey dinner recipes that are easy to make and taste delicious.
I will fully admit that I rarely, if ever as of late, cook with ground turkey. Saying this I know many of you do! It's a great source of lean protein and honestly I feel like it's making a bit of a comeback.
When home with family this past weekend sitting around the dinner table the topic of "favorite meals from your Mom" came up. My niece immediately said that her Mom's turkey burgers were the best thing she makes.
I was shocked....a turkey burger?
But after she described it, it sounded delicious. This got me thinking about ground turkey and the requests I've gotten from readers over the years so I figured it was high time I round up my friend's favorite ground turkey recipes and share them with you.
Let's go!
Orchard Turkey Burgers - the trick to a great turkey burger is keeping them moist so they do not dry out. This one from my friend Kristin has grated green apple in them! And look at those caramelized onions. Yum.
