Let's just be honest here and all admit that ground turkey is never the first choice. There are very few people in the world who actually crave ground turkey. We're willing to bet that the words "Man, I just want a turkey meatball sub so bad" have never, ever been spoken. Ground turkey is after all just the lighter alternative to beef, the meat people actually want to be eating. It's a sub, not the star.

This lean protein option has never really stood a chance in the hearts of eaters. Until now. With these recipes right here. We found 19 dishes that make ground turkey taste not only satisfying, but down right delicious too. You won't miss the beef for a second. We promise.
