I have a pound of lean ground turkey.

What can I make with it besides burgers or a meatloaf?

I'm looking for a lowish-fat, sodium reduced recipe.

Little tiny burgers the size of cookies, spiced sort of like felafel,
stuffed in pita bread with lettuce, shredded red cabbage, doused with
garlic/yogurt/dill sauce.

Any recipe that in which you might use ground beef.
I am thinking of turkey chili tonight.

If you had more, I would suggest turkey meatballs, tacos, or buritos,
but with only a pound, how about frying that ground turkey in a pan with
a bit of olive oil, mix in some diced tomatoes, and a cup or two of
tomato sauce and heat it until its bubbly, then serve it over your
favorite type of pasta.

I love to make turkey tacos. I use taco seasoning mix, which is high
in sodium, but you could adapt the recipe using your own seasoning.

I saute the turkey in a little olive oil until done, then add water and
the spices. I also add raisins, chopped fresh garlic and sliced green
olives.

Besides the many suggestions which have already been offered, and with which
I agree completely (especially the chili suggestion), there a

Sloppy Joes
Meatballs -- either Italian or Swedish
Turkey kofta (Indian- or Middle-Eastern-spiced ground turkey skewered and
grilled)

Mix it with ginger, garlic, light soy, shredded carrot, some minced
water chestnut, and other veggies you like (I do cabbage and bean
sprouts). Fill wonton wrappers or spring-roll wrappers. Steam or fry,
as you like. Lovely.

There's a low sodium version from Ortega or OEP - don't recall which, but I
see it regularly in grocery stores.

My daughter had some ground turkey.. can't remember what she made with it,
but the texture was horrible. Almost a stringy feel. Was this just poorly
ground or perhaps the way she cooked it? I am not a big fan of any ground
meat.. so I suppose it wouldn't take much to put me off.

Thanks everyone. I made turkey burritoes.

I looked at a back of a taco seasoning packet when I went to the
grocery store and picked up the necessary spices but not the salt. The
turkey burritoes came out great.
