I love chili, meatballs, and burgers! Don’t you? Don’t your kids? At my house it’s all a hit. And while I love beef and other red meat, more often than not, I switch it out for turkey. Ground turkey is incredibly versatile and much lower in fat—so if I can make something with it, with just as much flavor that’s just as tasty, why not!? Let’s do it! Here are 35 creative, delicious ground turkey recipes to get you started. My family loves each and every recipe. Check them out in the slideshow.
