Ground Turkey Breast??

katem3277 · April 2012

I grabbed a pound of frozen ground turkey breast at my meat market the other day and now I'm wondering what it would be a good use for it. Is it too lean to do burgers? If so, what could I do with it?

I've made burgers, meatballs, and chili using ground turkey. I've made meatballs with ground chicken breast. I'm not sure if ground turkey breast is so much different than ground turkey, but I wanna say its not. Google around for some recipes, though, and I'm no professional cook, I think that most things you would do with ground beef should be pretty much the same that you would do with ground turkey breast. Good luck!

I use it for burgers, and add shredded vegetables to keep it moist.

You can use it for pretty much anything you would use hamburger, stuffed peppers, meatballs, sloppy joes, etc. I have several recipes in my blog that I use ground turkey in if you want to take a look.

I love turkey burgers - I add parm cheese, sundried tomatoes, basil, & seasoning.

I made this a few weeks ago and we all loved it:

with modifications: saute ginger, onion, garlic then add turkey and all else. use cumin and garam masala and turmeric. add chick peas. (omit potatoes and serve orver rice) serve with naan bread.
