I have a few favorites both can be made with either ground beef or ground turkey. I don't use a lot of measurements because most of what I do is from sight or memory, but here goes.

Ninja Turtle Pie (a.k.a. Tater Tot Casserole)

 

1 pckg ground turkey/beef

1 can cream of mushroom

1 cup milk

1 pckg Tater Tots

 

Heat oven to 375-400

 

Brown the meat with salt, pepper, garlic

 

In a bowl mix cream of mushroom and milk with some garlic and salt (you can use discretion with the milk depending on the consistency you desire).

 

Once the meat is browned dump it in a casserole dish, top with cream of mushroom mixture, then top that with the tater tots. Bake until the tater tots are crispy.

 

Once you are done baking you can top with cheese. I?m from NM so I also put Hatch green chile in my soup mix too.

 

Mini Meatloaf w/sweet tomato sauce

 

1 pckg ground turkey/beef

1 egg

Oatmeal

sweet pickle relish

3 string cheese

 

Sauce:

Tomato sauce

Brown Sugar

 

Heat oven to 375

 

In a bowl combine meat, egg, relish, oatmeal with seasonings of your choice. Divide into 3 loaves. Stick the string cheese in the middle and cover. The string cheese will be in the middle of the loaf.  Bake until meat is done.

 

In another bowl combine Tomato Sauce and brown sugar. I keep adding sugar until I get just the right sweetness.

 

Salsa Turkey Burgers

 

1 pckg ground turkey

Hot Green El Pinto Salsa (you can find it at Fry?s or Walmart)

Green onions

Kosher Salt

Pepper

Garlic

Sliced Cheese

 

In a bowl combine all the ingredients (except cheese). Make 8 patties. Then place cheese slices on 4 of the patties. Cover the cheese patties with the remaining 4 patties. Throw them on the grill until done (about 6 ? 8 minutes each side).

Buffalo Turkey Burgers

	2 spray(s) cooking spray
	1/4 cup(s) barbecue sauce
	1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce, or to taste

1 pound(s) uncooked ground turkey breast
1/2 cup(s) scallion(s), sliced  
1/4 cup(s) celery, chopped   
1/4 cup(s) dried bread crumbs, plain-variety   
2 tsp minced garlic  
1/2 tsp table salt   
4 item(s) mixed-grain hamburger roll(s)
2 cup(s) romaine lettuce, shredded  
1 large tomato(es), cut into 8 slices   
2 Tbsp blue cheese, crumbled   

Off heat, coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.

In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce and hot pepper sauce. In a medium bowl, combine turkey, 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce mixture, scallion, celery, bread crumbs, garlic and salt. Using wet hands (to prevent mixture from sticking), form turkey mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; brush top of burgers with some remaining barbecue sauce mixture.

Place burgers on grill, sauce side down; brush tops of burgers with remaining sauce. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Lightly toast open-faced buns on grill during last minute of cooking.

To serve, place 4 bun bottoms on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 2 tomato slices, a burger, 1/2 tablespoon of cheese and a bun top (cheese will melt a little from hot burger). Yields 1 burger per serving.

I like more hot sauce (I use Franks). Oh and I don't like blue cheese so I just put some ranch on top!

I am going to cheat, and do ground sausage, mmm!

Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers

2 Bell peppers, cut in half and seeded

1 lb. Ground sausage (hot, mild, whatevs), browned and drained

2 C. Chipotle's famous cilantro rice (recipe below as well)

1 C. Cheese (whatever flavor you'd like, I do Colby Jack), shredded

Boil a large pot of water and submerge the raw peppers for about five minutes, to make them more tender.

Remove and dry off, and lay on a baking dish.  Fill each pepper about half way with the rice.  Fill remaining half with sausage.  Top with shredded cheese.

(The first time I made these, I poured tomatillo sauce on before sprinkling cheese, and it didn't add enough flavor to make it worth the effort)

Slide baking dish into preheated oven (350 degrees) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and wonderful.

Chipotle's famous cilantro rice

2 C. white rice, prepared

2 Tbsp. Lime

Bunch of cilantro, chopped

Prepare white rice as you normally would, mix in lime juice and cilantro, and salt to taste.  Mmm, just like Chiplote!

My sister sort of made up this recipe in college and I love it.  It is super easy and makes quite a lot, which is good when you have a husband who eats as much as mine does! 

Fideo 

1 lb ground beef

1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 clove Garlic, minced

1 package Fideo noodles (found in the salsa aisle at the grocery store)

1 can chicken broth

1 can tomato sauce

1 can El Pato sauce

1 can corn (drained and rinsed)

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)

Shredded Mexican blend cheese

In a large pan saute ground beef until done.  Remove beef and set aside, leaving grease in the pan.  Add onion and garlic and saute until tender.  Add fideo noodles and stir around until coated thoroughly.  Add chicken broth and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and noodles are soft.  Add tomato sauce, El Pato sauce, corn and black beans and stir.  Add ground beef.  Continue cooking until heated through.  Top with cheese and serve immediately.
