My mom's poodle hadda be put down due to kidney failure. I'd been buying
her ground turkey to get her to eat anything. It worked for a while,
until she reached critical no eat. Now, I'm left with 3 lbs of ground
turkey. I hate to toss it, but not sure what to do with it. I guess
I could make chili, but..... I made some spaghetti with one lb, but I
can no longer eat stuff with a red sauce, like pizza, spaghetts, etc.
Got any ideas?

Sorry to hear about your mom's poodle. Does she know?

Well, there are some uses for ground turkey that might work. Hmmm, let
me look up a post from the wayback machine. Circa 2002:

Turkey Burgers "Indienne"
(citation: Cooking Light magazine in the late 1980's)

16 oz. lean ground turkey
2 green onions, minced
1-2 tsp. Tabasco pepper sauce (to taste)
2 tsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. sesame oil
4 wholewheat buns, lightly toasted

In mixing bowl, combine turkey, minced green onion, soy, ginger, Tabasco
and sesame oil. Form mixture into 4 thick patties (about 3/4 inch
thick; they will shrink). Oven-broil or grill 5-6 inches from heat
about 5 minutes on each side, pressing lightly when turning. Serve on
toasted wheat buns with your choice of toppings.

They were actually very tasty. That's saying a lot from someone who has
never been a big fan of ground turkey.

Ground turkey is bland. It's also not as "healthful" as some people
think. They grind the skin in with the meat. That doesn't make it more
healthy than ground beef. Ground turkey was a huge deal in the 1980's
low-fat craze. I still see a lot of ground turkey but I don't see
anyone buying it.

As for uses, ground turkey definitely needs seasoning and spices to jack
up the taste. My 2¢.

nb says he can't eat red sauce. Maybe a sort of Swedish meatball
treatment would fit the bill.

I'd mix it with some beef or pork. I've made good pork sausage with
about 25% turkey. Would work that way with meatloaf too.

I make burgers with ground turkey. Add lots of chopped onion, finely chopped celery, some ketchup to add moisture, some finely chopped red pepper, ground black pepper. Serve on a toasted bun with avocado slices and tomato.

Sorry to hear about the dog. Very sad to lose old friends of four legs.

I dislike the texture of ground poultry, but if you mix it 50-50 with
beef and season it up like meatballs or meatloaf, it's tolerable.

I'd never buy ground mystery meat turkey... I wouldn't grind my own,
ground turky is disgusting, even smells awful while cooking. And the
preground at stores is loaded with skin, fat, and who knows what.
Someone invited me for a lasagna dinner, when I tasted it I thought it
was terible so asked and was told it's made with turkey, I didn't eat
another bite.

Season it up and use it for taco salad, tacos, etc. Sorry about your mom's
poodle.

I buy it often when it's on sale. We like it in a loaf, for taco salad and
things like that. When I make it in a loaf, I cover the loaf pan with foil
and it stays nice and moist.
