Ground Turkey Recipes

Seasoned Ground Turkey

- great for using in any recipe calling for ground beef.

Mix together thoroughly and brown in skillet being careful not to overcook (ground turkey cooks faster than ground beer):

1 lb. ground turkey
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. thyme
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. sage
1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
2 tbsp. ketchup or tomato sauce

Convenience tip: Blend 2 tablespoons each of the dry spices/herbs and store in a tightly covered jar to save measuring each one every time. Use 1/2 tsp. per 1 lb. ground turkey; write this on the container including amount of ketchup and soy or worcestershire sauce per pound.

Turkey Burger Patties

- seasoned ground turkey shaped into patties. Add the bran for extra nutrition and to help hold patties together better. Freezable

Amount: 4 patties

1. Mix together thoroughly and shape into 4 patties:
1 lb. uncooked Seasoned Ground Turkey
1/2 - 3/4 cup oat or wheat bran, optional

2. Broil as hamburger patties, but not quite as long, or bake 10-15 minutes at 350. These may also be fried but they will not be as moist. No fat is usually needed to cook ground turkey in any pan, but spray the pan with non-stick olive oil spray for a little easier turning.
