Thinking something meatball, stew, or crumbled and browned in a sauce (do have the meatball and veg stew one: out of most veg except onions, carrots, and potatoes). Do have some frozen vegetables, though just corn and peas. Just came back from a trip and am too tired to go shop.

Trying to cook lowfat, but so far none of us have been keen on ground turkey unless the bland flavor was well-disguised. Have lots of salsa and spices on hand!

How about turkey patties in adobo sauce? Or turkey patties, browned and served on a bed of shredded lettuce with salsa on top.
How about crumbling up and browning in a little oil with some chopped onion and a can of mild Rotel tomatoes, simmering until thick and serving over rice?

I love this one. It's so simple but so full of flavor:

Hobo Chicken (The flavors in this are incredible and the chicken is moist and tender.)

1 1/2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey) breast
5 Ritz crackers; crushed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic; crushed or chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 large red or yellow potato sliced thin, unpeeled
1 large onion sliced thin
2 large carrots peeled and sliced
herbs such as rosemary, thyme, parsley
2 slices bacon, cut in half

Pre-heat oven to 350°. In a large bowl combine ground chicken, crackers crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic, cayenne, egg yolk, chicken broth and parmesan cheese. Shape into 4 patties and place each on a piece of aluminum foil big enough to cover and close into individual packages or use individual size casserole dishes.

On top of each patty, place potato slices, onion slices, carrots, sprinkle with herbs and lay half piece of bacon over top. Seal foil tightly and place pouches on a baking sheet. If using individual casserole dishes, cover tightly with foil. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Open pouches enough to expose bacon and broil just long enough to brown the bacon; 2 to 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve. *This is also good with fresh green beans add to pouches.

For a beautiful presentation, prepare in individual casserole dishes and wrap dish in foil.

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup La Mexicana Salsa (mild)
2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
Black Pepper, Oregano

Mix all and shape into patties. I use my George Foreman grill to cook them. Total of 6 minutes. 3 on one side, flip and 3 on the other.

Oh here I did a search and it came up in this thread.

Shape into patties or meatballs or loaf. Grill, saute or bake until just done..(DO NOT OVER COOK!)

Excellant with cucumbers, a lite dressing or just some sour cream or yogurt on a bun or in a pita..I love it grilled in patties, and then sliced into fingers cold from the fridge the next day as much as hot off the grill!
