Let's talk turkey. Specifically, ground turkey. Quick-cooking, whole-family pleasing, and endlessly versatile, this weeknight dinner staple is the canvas for a treasure trove of tryptophantastic easy meals. Whether you’re looking for simple pasta dishes, hearty stews, or fun, flavorful spins on classic comfort foods like meatloaf and burgers, we’ve got options for literal days! (Especially those days where you need dinner to happen in a flash.)
We tend to favor regular ground turkey, which includes dark meat from the turkey legs. It's richer and less prone to drying out than lean ground turkey breast. However, the two are relatively interchangeable, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand. You should also feel free to swap ground turkey into any of your favorite ground meat recipes like shepherd's pie or enchiladas—we love a turkey lettuce wrap. Below, we've compiled a few of our favorite ground turkey recipes, each one primed and ready for dinner tonight.
