Love the recipes, thanks! I would sub ground dark meat turkey–more flavorful, and the fat (if you can get the meat from organic, humanely raised birds) is good for us.
Yes you can definitely use dark meat turkey in any of these!
Well, I’ll be honest. I haven’t eaten Turkey for quite a while already, but this recipe looks really amazing. I’ll definitely try to prepare it this week together with some drinks 🙂 Seems like a great idea for my anniversary dinner with my wife. Thanks!
Tons of delicious ones in here! Enjoy, and happy anniversary 🙂
I made your enchilada meatloaf this weekend and I’m obsessed! The enchilada sauce was so easy, but so flavorful. I can’t wait to make it again! I think next time I will dice up a jalapeno and mix it in the meat.
Yay so great to hear! I love extra jalapeño…
Awesome recipes! That first turkey meatloaf looks great. I love cooking with turkey, thanks for the ideas.
It’s amazing! Enjoy 🙂
Amazing recipes!
Just loved all these recipes. My daughter doesn’t like Turkey so can I use other meats? Thank you for sharing!
I’m so glad! And you can use ground chicken in these if you’d like 🙂
Have any ground turkey recipes without tomatoes? I cannot eat acidic anything due to health issues.
Try these turkey burgers, or use ground turkey (or ground chicken) in these meatballs and this burger!
