Need opinion: ground turkey

I plan on fixing taco salad for dinner tonight and I want to know if ground turkey tastes enough like ground beef so I can trick L into thinking it's ground beef?! He's like a kid in those commercials: if he knows there is a full serving of vegetables in there, he won't eat it! I've never fixed or eaten found turkey but I've heard it tastes almost the same. Opinions?

Re: Need opinion: ground turkey

  • i tried using ground turkey once but hated it.  i always use ground chicken now.  i can't even remember the last time i used ground beef.  what i do is use gravy master to help with the color.  you just need a splash of it and it darkens the meat.

    we actually prefer it now!

  • We use ground turkey for everything and we love it, lol. We NEVER use ground beef anymore. I highly doubt he will notice. I did it to Chris and he didn't notice and when I told him wanted to switch!
  • No help here, I've only used ground turkey in my goulash recipe that has ground beef in it too. Let us know if he notices!?

  • we use ground turkey often, but to be honest I never thought to use it for tacos. We used ground turkey for them most of the time.

    I must say that we made a ground beef goulash the other night and I think it totally turned me off ground beef.

  • I don't think the taste is much different, especially if you blend in taco seasonings. I actually prefer it.

  • The taco seasoning should mask any flavor differences for L. Go for it!

    this. I can't stand beef anymore. Plus like pp said, the taco seasonings will mask any flavor difference. We make turkey tacos, and I think they taste exactly the same.

    My overly happy baby girl!

  • We haven't used ground beef in years.  We use ground turkey for burgers, meatloaf, tacos... you name it!
