Healthy Recipes with Ground Turkey

I love cooking with ground turkey because it’s so versatile and quick cooking. It’s leaner than ground beef or sausage, but still has plenty of flavor. 

So today, I wanted to share some of my best ground turkey recipes! From chili to turkey burgers, these are all easy to make and totally delicious.

Now, on to the list!

Tomato Garlic Pasta with Ground Turkey

Ground turkey, penne, and zucchini is tossed with a light and delicious tomato garlic sauce. Easy, quick, and will keep you satisfied.

Curry Turkey Burgers with Mint Yogurt Sauce

If you’re looking for an ultra-flavorful, juicy turkey burger: look no further.

These curry turkey burgers with mint yogurt sauce are super easy and ridiculously tasty. Serve with sweet potato fries for a crave-worthy weeknight meal!

Butternut Squash Turkey Chili

This fall/winter-inspired chili features ground turkey, butternut squash, two types of beans, and more veggies.

It’s both yummy and nutrient-dense – the best of both worlds!

Serve with sour cream, avocado, a side salad, crusty bread…whatever floats your boat. 🙂

Turkey Meatloaf Muffins with Dijon

These adorable mini meatloaf muffins made with ground turkey are packed with flavor from dijon mustard, cranberries, and herbs.

Throw in a couple sides, and you’ve got a meal the whole family will love. They make great leftovers, too!

Sesame Ginger Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce wraps are one of my absolute favorite ways to enjoy ground turkey.

These quick and easy lettuce wraps are bursting with sesame ginger flavor, and have a delicious crunch from the shredded carrots.

They’re always a crowd pleaser and are also on the table in 15 minutes flat.

Turkey Barley Soup with Veggies

It’s filling, too: packed with ground turkey, chewy barley, kidney beans, and veggies. The perfect chili for cold winter nights.

Honey Sriracha Ground Turkey Meatballs (Crockpot)

Jamaican Jerk Turkey Burgers

If you haven’t tried stuffed peppers, you’re missing out! These bell peppers are stuffed with ground turkey, beans, veggies, and cheese and roasted to perfection.

This recipe cooks them in an Instant Pot, so they’re much quicker than traditional stuffed peppers made in the oven.
