Looking for more poultry in your weekly meal rotation? Can’t bear to eat turkey only on Thanksgiving? If so, you’ve come to the right place. This list features our top ten turkey recipes from enchiladas to chilis to stuffed turkey cutlets. Don’t relegate turkey to only once a day per year and try these delicious recipes the whole family will enjoy.
1) Turkey Taco Chili
This turkey taco chili is everything you want in a taco, but in a bowl and perfect for a larger crowd or leftovers for the week. With ground turkey, black beans, onions, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, and taco seasoning this hearty dish has six basic ingredients that will fill you up but not bust your belt.
2) Turkey Meatloaf
Ground turkey only needs a little extra coaxing to be transformed into a delicious and moist meatloaf. Broiled mushrooms, onions, and worcestershire sauce add rich, umami flavors to the meatloaf, while red pepper flakes add a touch of heat. Structural ingredients such as panko breadcrumbs, egg, and milk hold it all together. We glaze the meatloaf with a mixture of ketchup, vinegar, and sugar and broil for a sweet and tangy finish.
3) Turkey Enchilada Casserole
This delicious and easy recipe is perfect for when you want classic enchilada flavors without the hassle of rolling and assembling them. In this casserole we layer flavorful turkey and enchilada sauce with monterey jack cheese and corn tortillas. The casserole is then roasted until the layers meld and the cheese is melty.
4) Coconut Curry Turkey Meatballs
These high-protein, low-fat turkey meatballs are filled with aromatic garlic and ginger for a hearty yet incredibly fresh flavor. We serve the meatballs over a bed of basmati rice along with a coconut curry made from broiled aromatics and red curry paste. These meatballs could also be enjoyed over roasted vegetables or as a soup with a crusty piece of bread.
5) Apple and Brie Stuffed Turkey Cutlets
These melty and tart stuffed cutlets are the perfect way to welcome the fall season without all of the prep that comes with a normal turkey dinner. With this recipe, we’ve used lean turkey breast cutlets as a wrap for seasonal granny smith apples and gooey flavor-rich brie.
6) Turkey Meatballs and Herbed Cream Sauce
These slow cooked meatballs include tarragon and parsley in the mix, bringing herby brightness to this delicious, classic dish. We’ve used ground turkey to keep the meatball on the leaner side and Italian breadcrumbs for a quick and easy seasoning solution.
7) Greek Style Turkey Meatballs
These Greek-inspired turkey meatballs are flavorful and bright thanks to oregano, cumin, coriander, lemon, and ample amounts of mint. We threw in some feta too for a tangy, briny punch. You can easily swap the mint for dill or any other fragrant, leafy herb.
8) White Bean Turkey Chili
Grab your cozy socks and gameday jersey, and make yourself a bowl of this hearty and healthy turkey chili. With super simple and speedy prep, this recipe will leave your house smelling delicious as it slow cooks all day. Freeze leftovers for an even easier dinner another night!
9) Sous Vide Turkey Breast Cutlets
Versatile, lean, and packed full of protein, turkey is both delicious and highly nutritious. The only major downside to turkey is its tendency to dry out when overcooked. Anyone who has found themselves gnawing on dry and tough turkey knows how easy it is to overcook this fickle protein. That’s where sous vide comes in. The sous vide process results in perfectly cooked turkey that is moist and juicy with minimal effort.
10) Turkey Casserole
Leftovers from Turkey Day? We can help. This turkey casserole helps you use up your extra turkey leftovers from your holiday gathering. This comforting, easy and hearty meal can be ready for your Suvie in 10 minutes and allows you to spend some much needed time away from the kitchen.
