Like ground turkey? Check out some of these ground turkey recipes that you can make today!
Dinner is always a problem in my house. After all, it comes every single day, and the little (and big) people in my house need to be fed. Every. Single. Day.
I am always looking for new and exciting recipes to serve so that they and I don’t get bored. Whenever I find something that we like, I try to make extra and put it in the freezer for those days where I just can’t cook.
Having food available saves us from wracking up a take-out bill and helps keep our food costs down.
Ground Turkey is a great substitute for ground beef. It is considered healthier, and it usually is cheaper than meat. When using ground turkey in recipes, I find that I can stretch it further.
For me, a pound of ground turkey will feed more people than a pound of a sliced or whole turkey. Most recipes have ingredients that you mix with the meat to make it stretch more.
These recipes also usually go well with side dishes, so you save money on the ground turkey and can make your grocery budget go a little further! All these small things help me feed a large family on a budget.
So, without further ado, here are some of the best ground Turkey Recipes that you should absolutely and definitely give a try!
