Ground Turkey

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.

Having a dependable turkey chili recipe in your culinary repertoire means that a hearty, crowd-pleasing weeknight dinner is never far from reach.

Too many turkey meatloaf recipes have resulted in a dry, uninspiring dinner. But soaking breadcrumbs in milk prevents the meatloaf from drying out as it cooks.

This turkey-based Sloppy Joe-inspired sauce uses carrots and deeply caramelized onions to add a bit of sweetness. Adding eggs and garlicky spinach turns it into a meal.

These turkey burgers are my nod to the Mediterranean, packed with fresh herbs, lemon, and red onion.

This is total comfort food, but made with less saturated fat and more veggies than traditional recipes.

Shaping meatballs into perfect spheres is too fussy for a weeknight meal. Instead, drop dollops of spiced ground chicken onto a sheet pan and roast with carrots until both are golden brown.

Spiced with cinnamon, allspice, and cocoa powder, this warming bean and turkey chili pairs perfectly with the sweet fall flavor of roasted spaghetti squash in this naturally gluten-free dinner.

With three options for plating, you can enjoy these aromatic meatballs plain, in a rich coconut noodle soup, or with added heat from a bit of red curry paste.

These tasty burgers have a little chile kick and are ideal to pop into a sealable container and take to work for lunch.
