You can pretty much use it in place of ground beef! We make meatballs for spagetti and shepards pie...but my favorite are blue cheese turkey burgers...here goes...
2 lbs ground turkey 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1 beaten egg 1 clove of garlic minced 1 tblsp. fresh chopped parsley 1 cup of crumbled blue cheese (yes...we love it) salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Fry in a skillet. But DON'T grill these babies...that cheese lights the whole yard on fire.
We love em on onion rolls with a perfect slice of tomato!

I tried the Blue Cheese Turkey Burgers and really liked them. I ate one plain though, with no bun. Next time I'll try them with a bun and tomato and such. I went back on the South Beach diet for a week to try and shrink my belly and you can't have bread. My pants had been fitting tighter since all the Christmas goodies. Lost 7 pounds and my 34's are fitting loose. I'm going to try my 32's again.
I think I have a recipe for ground turkey meat loaf in an old Harrowsmith magazine. I'll try to find it.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions and celery for about 3 minutes, or until softened. Stir in thyme and sage and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the onion mixture, turkey, bread crumbs, apples, egg, parsley, mustard, salt and pepper; mix well. Pack into an 8-by-4 inch loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes. Pour off any fat. In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients. Brush over the top of the loaf and bake for 30 minutes longer, or until the top is golden and the juices run clear when the meat loaf is pierced with a skewer.
