For many cooks, ground turkey is the second-string of ingredients; they only pull it off the bench (or out of the freezer) when they need to replace a favorite choice, such as ground beef.
With apologies for the extended football metaphor, we insist that ground turkey should be treated like a star quarterback; this tasty protein definitely has the stats to carry any meal! Lean ground turkey is low in fat and sodium, and it’s relatively low in price. Most importantly, it’s also delicious.
Football season is right around the corner, and with it comes tailgate parties, homecoming festivities and lazy weekend afternoons watching your favorite team. With that in mind, we’re giving you some of our favorite ground turkey recipes that are perfect for any football-viewing event on your schedule, or just a quiet dinner at home. From a ground turkey tacos to a rich turkey chili, these dishes prove ground turkey is definitely an all-star addition to any menu.
