Easy Ground Turkey Family Dinner Ideas

Anyone who says turkey is only good for Thanksgiving dinner is wrong. Turkey is a versatile meat that is available all year long. I love using ground turkey in many of my dishes because it’s a healthy alternative to beef. And, these days easier to find. That’s why I’ve gathered 15 ground turkey recipes that you’re family will love anytime of the year.

Honestly, any recipe that calls for hamburger, or ground beef, can be substituted with ground turkey. It’s a 1:1 ratio, so you can simply swap it out. You might need to add in a bit of olive oil, or butter to keep it moist since turkey breast doesn’t have nearly as much natural fat as ground beef does. But, otherwise it’s a simple swap out.
