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.

Just the hamburger buns with the onions on them...or sometimes they're called kaiser rolls.

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. [thumb] 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.

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute white onions, green onions, carrots, celery, green and red bell peppers, and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg and cumin. Stir in eggs, ketchup and half-and-half. Blend in vegetable mixture from skillet. Add ground turkey, and bread crumbs. Mix well with hands, then shape into a loaf. Place into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

To make the gravy: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute shallots with red and yellow peppers until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with thyme, and black pepper. Stir in half-and-half, garlic, beef stock and chicken stock. Increase heat to high, and boil uncovered until liquid is reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and ketchup. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain gravy, discarding thyme before serving.

That sounds good Mike!

Here's the one I was talking about.

Thanksgiving Loaf

1 tsp. vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onions (2 small)
1 stalk celery, chopped
3/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs from firm bread
1 1/2 cups peeled, grated apples
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Glaze:
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard

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.

Serves 6
