8 Ground Turkey Recipes You Need To Add To Your Family’s Meal Plan

by Amber King
written by Amber King

Ground turkey is (in my opinion) the most underappreciated section of the meat department. It’s often eclipsed by ground beef that’s used for everything from burgers to meatloaf. But a lot of people don’t realize that ground turkey can do just about anything ground beef can do. And better yet, turkey is a lot cheaper than beef, and if you get the leanest option, it also has a lot less fat. So less money and less fat—it’s a win-win! I’m constantly using ground turkey in my cooking. In some recipes that would normally call for beef, you can’t even tell the difference when you switch to turkey. And in some of my favorite traditionally-beef dishes, I actually prefer the turkey version. Don’t believe me? Try out these ground turkey recipes for yourself.

1. Turkey Chili

Fall is time for roast turkey and mashed potatoes, but this cool weather also means it’s the perfect time for chili. I know some people that turn chili making into an art. There’s no doubt their creations taste delicious, but when I’m the one in the ktichen, I like to keep things simple. This uncomplicated turkey chili recipe is perfect. Most chili is made from ground beef, but substituting beef for turkey makes it healthier without affecting the taste. 

Maebells Simple Living has a ground turkey recipe that uses only a handful of ingredients you probably already have.

2. PF Chang’s Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce wraps are low in carbs, easy to make, budget friendly, and they taste delicious. If you don’t already include them in your regular dinner line-up, you’re seriously missing out. You can make lettuce wraps with just about any protein you want. Chicken and beef are popular choices, but Life As Mama editor, Modi Ramos, recently tried a recipe using ground turkey. It was a big hit with her family of five—even her three littles. The recipe she used is a PF Chang’s imitation that calls for chicken, but it was a simple switch to ground turkey.

You’ll find the tried-and-tested recipe with Damn Delicious.

3. Turkey Tacos

Why do Taco Tuesday when you could do Turkey Taco Tuesday? Tacos made with ground turkey are a lighter option compared to the ground beef tacos your family loves so much. Plus, you’ll save money on your grocery bill by buying ground turkey instead of beef. If your taco nights usually consist of browning beef and then dousing it with a packet of pre-mixed taco seasoning, all you need to do is use turkey instead. But if you’re looking for something special, you can use ground turkey and various spices to make something a little different.

Buns In My Oven has a great ground turkey taco recipe for you to try out. 

4. Baked Turkey Meatballs

If it takes less than 30 minutes to make, it’s always a winning recipe in my book. That’s why turkey meatballs show up on my table fairly often. I admit I’ll occasionally go even easier and heat up frozen meatballs I bought from the store, but they just don’t taste the same. I like to make meatballs in bulk, and then I have them for nights when I want a good meal but don’t feel like slaving away in the kitchen. And, let’s be honest, that’s most nights. You can use turkey meatballs for pasta or whip up some mashed potatoes and put it all together with gravy. 

Mom on Timeout has a quick turkey meatball recipe. 

5. Ground Turkey Stir Fry

Stir fry is a go-to meal no matter the time of year. It’s so quick and easy, and you can use whatever ingredients you already have in the kitchen. A traditional stir fry uses slices of meat, but using ground meat makes the whole process a lot easier. And ground turkey is especially great for stir fry because the flavor is so versatile. You can use almost any vegetable you want and make it spicy or mild depending on your preference. There’s also the option of serving it with rice, noodles, or a low-carb alternative.

You can get started with a ground turkey stir fry with this recipe from Budget Bytes.

6. Ground Turkey Black Bean Enchiladas

Enchiladas take a little longer to make than simple tacos or stir fry, but they’re worth the wait. Enchiladas come in all kinds of flavors and proteins. Ground turkey enchiladas are lower in fat than other options, and they’re still packed full of flavor. Even picky eaters can get on board with an enchilada as long the sauce is  yummy and the level of spice is to their liking. I’m a big baby when it comes to spice, so I always make my Mexican food as mild as possible. But whether you like spice or not, you can make these ground turkey enchiladas however you want them.

Get started with this recipe from Diethood. 

7. Turkey Bolognese

Bolognese sauce is a staple if you love Italian food. It’s a rich, meaty sauce that is typically paired with broad, flat pastas like fettuccine or pappardelle. (But I won’t tell if you use a bolognese sauce over your kid’s favorite spaghetti.) Sticking with the theme of this post, most bolognese recipes call for beef. It’s just how it is. But like everything else, ground turkey will work just as well. It’s a slightly healthier option, and you can choose a whole-grain pasta to make an even bigger change in your diet.

Woman’sDay has the recipe. 

8. Turkey Sloppy Joes

This ground turkey recipe is for every family with a picky little eater on their hands. The classic sloppy joe is a big hit for kids. It tastes good, and I also think kids like this meal because of its name. I mean, what kind of name is sloppy joe? The kind that kids like, that’s what. A typical sloppy joe is made with ground beef, but you can lower the fat content of these messy sandwiches by switching to ground turkey.

You can also go the simple route and buy the pre-made sauce, or you can follow this recipe from Woman’sDay to make your ground turkey sloppy joes extra special.

10 Weeknight Dinner Ideas For The Whole Family

by Bee
written by Bee

Every Monday through Friday, moms everywhere face the same challenge: how in the world are we supposed to feed our families and keep them happy between work, toddler dance class, baseball practice, homework, music lessons, and who knows what else? There’s barely time to tie our shoes let alone cook a delicious and nutritious weeknight dinner the entire family will agree on.

It’s an age-old problem that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how old your kids are or how many appointments you cram onto your calendar. When you’re tired of pizza and even the kids can’t stomach any more hot dogs, it’s time to refresh your weeknight dinner repertoire.

These recipes were chosen based on being weeknight-friendly. There’s something here for every set of taste buds.

1. Garlic Butter Pork Chops

weeknight dinner

Before you panic, trust us, these pork chops are tasty, and they take about 20 minutes to make. A lot of pork chop recipes can leave you checking the oven every few minutes worried about overcooking, but this pan-fried recipe is foolproof. 

You have the option of either bone-in or boneless meat, but remember, bones provide a whole lot of juicy flavor. Boneless is the leaner option, as most of the fat has been removed, but it will be drier and slightly less flavorful.

Regardless of what you pick, make sure your meat is high quality. You’ll have to pay a little more, but the flavor is worth it.

Click here for the full recipe.

2. Parmesan Baked Chicken Breast

This is a go-to recipe for when you want a hardy meal but don’t have a lot of time (or ingredients) to make it happen. 

Everyone loves chicken, and there’s even a chance your pickiest little eaters will scarf down this tasty recipe. The key is in how you bake it. You want your chicken breasts to be perfectly seasoned and baked just the right amount so they’re juicy and not rubbery.

Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it sounds.

Check out the full recipe for Parmesan baked chicken breast here.

3. Garlic Butter Sauteed Asparagus

Finding a main dish is one thing, but don’t forget about those sides. It’s a good idea to stock your kitchen with side dish ingredients that pair well with most of your family’s favorite meals. You don’t want to restrict your already complicated meal planning because your sides don’t go well with your mains.

This garlic butter sauteed asparagus recipe is exactly what we’re talking about. It’s one of those side dishes that can be paired with almost anything. Salmon, chicken, shrimp, even pastas—you have plenty of options. 

Your kids might initially turn up their noses at the sight of these green spears, but the garlic butter makes up for any vegetable-ness they might resist.

You’ll find secrets for the perfect saute along with the full recipe here.

4. Garlic Butter Fish

When you feel like you’ve been cycling through the same routine of chicken, beef, pork, and pasta, why not add some variety to your life? Fish recipes are great for weeknight dinners because they’re fast and filling. 

You also have the benefit of having an entire sea’s worth of fishy flavors to choose from. If your kids don’t like a certain kind of fish, mix it up and try something different. Halibut is a mild type of fish that’s often great for picky eaters.

Pair your family’s favorite type of fish with this easy-to-make and affordable garlic butter for a meal that tastes like it came right from a seafood restaurant.

5 Of The Best Keto Pizza Recipes

by Grandma Penny
written by Grandma Penny

There’s more than one reason why the keto diet is one of today’s most popular health trends. By choosing this high-fat, low-carb meal plan, you transition your body into using a different, more efficient, type of fuel. A body in ketosis is in a better position to lose weight, stabilize blood sugar, and reduce inflammation. Not only does it help you drop a few unnecessary pounds, but many people on the keto diet report feeling energized and generally more comfortable with their body. 

If you’re committed, the keto diet can bring drastic changes to your life. But like any other diet, it isn’t always easy. There are strict guidelines to follow, and the list of foods you can’t eat is somewhat limiting. Basically, if you know it’s high in carbs, you can’t have it. The slightest break in the diet will throw your body out of ketosis, and you’ll need to start all over. So there’s really no such thing as a cheat day, really.

keto pizza

That means that when you’re craving a slice of pizza, you can’t call up your favorite pizza joint and order a pie. Pizza crust is notoriously high in carbs, and that puts it on your list of banned foods. But fear not, pizza lovers! There are ways around the low-carb rule if you’re willing to work for it.

I’ve found these five keto pizza recipes to satisfy your cravings.

1. Keto-Friendly Chicken Pizza

A little like chicken Parmesan, this keto-friendly twist on traditional pizza is cheesy and delicious. It’s easy to make, and it’s filling enough to be an entire meal all on its own.

2. Low-Carb Zucchini Crust Pizza

It’s amazing what you can do with a single zucchini. It’s an all-purpose type of vegetable, and this keto pizza recipe is a great example. Instead of bread crust, this recipe has a low-carb zucchini crust.

3. Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Ahhh cauliflower. This magical little vegetable has the keto diet to thank for its growing popularity. Not only is cauliflower one of the better tasting vegetables (even kids who don’t like vegetables can be convinced not to hate it), it’s also the perfect foundation for your keto pizza.

4. Cheesy Keto Pizza Crust

Being on the keto diet means you’re going to miss out on a lot of good foods, but thankfully, cheese isn’t one of them. All types of cheese are low in carbs and high in fat. This keto pizza recipe puts that cheesy goodness to good use. 

5. Sausage Crust Pizza

This recipe is like the keto version of a meat lover’s pizza. Instead of putting sausage on top, you use sausage as your crust. You can pick what type of meat you want and then layer even more meat or vegetables over the cheese.

3 Keto Bread Recipes So You Can Enjoy Bread Without All The Carbs

by Grandma Penny
written by Grandma Penny

The Keto diet is relatively simple to stick to once you get the hang of it. There are lots of rich and satisfying foods to eat, and how good your body feels once you’re in ketosis is an added bonus.

However, I really miss sandwiches and that can be a tough sacrifice at times. I can only fork my way through so many bowls and salads before I start craving a sandwich. Aaahhh sandwiches that you pick up with your hands! I sometimes dream about a juicy, handheld burger with lettuce, tomato, and pickles–dripping with keto-friendly mayo.

keto bread

But no matter how bad you want it, bread is a big no-no when it comes to keto—and that includes burger buns. Without bread, your meal choices are seriously limited at times, and I know a lot of keto fans end up quitting for that exact reason. There is something strangely satisfying about the crunch and mouth-watering chew bread gives us that leaves us uncontrollably craving it. I’m sure you can relate…

But I have good news! There are a number of delicious keto-friendly bread recipes. You’re not likely to find what you’re looking for in an average grocery store, but that’s what your kitchen is for, my keto friends! You can make your own keto-friendly bread to help you stay on track with your diet. And best of all, you don’t need a breadmaker or superior kitchen skills to do it.

I found three great keto-compliant recipes for breads and buns.

1. Cloud Bread Buns

These fluffy little buns are a great go-to when you’re craving a burger but need to stick to your keto diet. For starters, they’re easy to make. And if you’re wanting to add in a little extra, you can add cinnamon, rosemary or garlic for a more flavorful bread.

2. Keto-Friendly Loaves

When you slice up this keto-friendly loaf, you’ll have the perfect foundation for an avocado toast. It’s not as crumbly as other keto recipes, and you can use it for all your favorite sandwiches. 

3. Keto-Friendly Rolls

Sometimes you just need a dinner roll to go with your meal. These yummy keto dinner rolls can be made ahead of time and even frozen for bread-craving emergencies. Just heat them up in the toaster oven and slather on some grass-fed butter and you’re good to go!

Celebrate Spring With These 5 Salad Recipes

by Grandma Penny
written by Grandma Penny

The very first spring harvest brings us strawberries, peas, radishes, arugula, asparagus and more. It’s the perfect time of year to revamp your diet and start eating a little healthier. I know salads get a bad reputation, but people who think salads are boring probably aren’t making them right. There’s a lot more to a delicious and nutritious salad than dumping lettuce in a bowl. I like to get creative with my salads, and I’ve come up with a few great combinations that are anything but boring.

Here are our favorite early spring salad recipes to get you started. Good luck!

1. Strawberry Cucumber Salad

This lovely salad is so easy, and thanks to the strawberries, there’s even a good chance your kids might eat it!

2. American Potato Salad

The peppery radishes are just the right counterpoint for America’s favorite creamy salad. Potato salad is welcome at every summer meal. It’s hearty and flavorful and compliments anything BBQ or grilled. It’s one of the few salads that can be made the night before because it doesn’t wilt. Take it to your next backyard cookout or make it for your family for dinner.

3. Asparagus, Tomato and Feta

Asparagus is another miracle of spring. If you don’t grow it yourself, head to the store to buy fresh stalks. It’ll make the perfect addition to your salads, and you won’t be able to enjoy it 100% fresh for much longer. You might as well take advantage of it while you can.

4. Arugula, Pesto, and Tomato Salad

This is one of my favorite spring salad recipes to date. It’s fresh and crisp, and the mozzarella gives it an extra great taste. If you can, use fresh ingredients to get this salad’s full worth.

5. Cucumbers with Peas and Mint

spring salad recipes

This salad is simple and perfect for those spring days when you don’t want to put a lot of work into making a healthy meal. You can use fresh ingredients, but frozen peas will work just as well. The ingredient list is short and simple, and adding the dressing gives you a nice zing of flavor.

3 Easy Mexican Recipes For The Perfect Cinco De Mayo Fiesta

by Amber King
written by Amber King

Cinco de Mayo is officially the day that Mexico celebrates its independence from its French colonizers. But over here in my kitchen, we are celebrating our independence from oppressive, time-consuming recipes. Dinner on the table in 20 minutes, anyone? And, no, it’s not hot dogs!

A lot of Mexican recipes are quick to prepare, inexpensive, and tasty. With the right pantry items in stock, I can assemble this dinner in 10 minutes and have it on the table in 20 minutes. That’s just barely enough time to set the table!

But don’t forget, you need your Mexican food to please the pickiest and tiniest eaters in your house. Mexican food is often spicy, but the plainer the better is how my little ones like to eat. These recipes are great for that, and you can always spice up and dress up the rest of the meal with a little sour cream, chopped cilantro, chopped peppers and/or hot salsa. If you’re feeling ambitious, try adding thinly sliced radishes and guacamole for an extra dash of deliciousness.

These easy Mexican recipes will be great to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and you can also use them all year-round. Bon appetit!

Enjoy!

Do You Know The Key To Making The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich?

by Grandma Penny
written by Grandma Penny

The grilled cheese sandwich is celebrated as both a kid-pleasing lunch and even a quick dinner for nights when you’re in a pinch for time. We love it because it’s easy to make, and our kids love it because it’s simply delicious. It’s a basic concept–just bread and cheese–but if you want, you can turn your ordinary grilled cheese sandwich into a culinary masterpiece.

You might think the cheese is the most important part, it’s called a grilled “cheese” after all, but it’s the bread that will make or break your sandwich. The best grilled cheese sandwiches are crispy, crusty, and a little crunchy. That means you need your bread to be–get this–less than fresh. Stale bread is actually the best kind of bread you can use for a grilled cheese. It gives the sandwich that extra kick of great taste and texture.

perfect grilled cheese

I only make my grilled cheeses with slightly stale bread, and you can definitely tell the difference. Another tip for making the perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to get creative. Who said a grilled cheese sandwich needs to be boring? I love experimenting with my sandwiches and end up creating some really delicious combinations.

Just like pizza, everyone has their favorite add in to grilled cheese. This list seems just as inexhaustible as the list of potential pizza toppings. Not to mention, adding ingredients to your grilled cheese is a great way to get rid of those little leftovers. My favorite is smoked Gouda with some spinach and cooked bacon. 

Things I’ve added to my grilled cheese as of late:

  • cooked bacon
  • Andouille sausage
  • prosciutto
  • scraps of ham left from Easter dinner
  • tomato slices
  • spinach, cooked and raw
  • mushrooms
  • lobster leftover from Valentine’s dinner
  • olives
  • pepperoni
  • ground beef taco filling
  • every kind of sweet or hot pepper
  • chicken fajitas
  • black bean burger
  • ravioli

Pick ingredients you have lying around the kitchen, and test them out to see what works! It’s great way to repurpose meals and many of these will taste even better on their second go thanks to the magic of grilled cheese sandwiches.

Tuscan white bean dip

Impress Your Guests With This Homemade Tuscan White Bean Dip Recipe

by Grandma Penny
written by Grandma Penny

If you want to really impress your family and party guests, Tuscan white bean dip is the way to do it. You can use it as an appetizer before you serve your main meal or bring it to a potluck for a classier version of chips and dip.

The recipe is so simple it’ll only take a few minutes to make. You’ll need a food processor to get a nice and even consistency, and it might take more water or bread crumbs to get the exact consistency you’re looking for.

One of the reasons Tuscan white bean dip is such a success is that it can be paired with almost any kind of cracker, chip, or bread. My favorite way to serve this dip is with homemade crostini. I make my crostini using stale bread, and it’s always a hit. You can find my recipe for homemade crostini here.

Give New Life To Your Stale Bread With These Tasty Recipes

by Grandma Penny
written by Grandma Penny

Unless you are still buying the store bread that has been chemically induced into immortality, you have old stale bread from time to time. Realizing your once-delicious bread is now hard and crusty can be disappointing, but that’s no reason to throw it away.

Believe it or not, stale bread is a valuable ingredient in many recipes. You can recycle your old bread to make croutons, bread crumbs, bread pudding, stuffing, and so much more.   

The key to reusing stale bread is knowing not all types of bread are good for all recipes. An old apricot Danish, for example, won’t make good croutons or breadcrumbs, but it will make delicious bread pudding. You could even turn it into a stuffing for a pork roast, chicken, or turkey. 

Instead of giving a sigh of resignation every time I open the bread box to find stale loaves, I start thinking of all the ways I can use my stale bread by transforming it into recipes my family will love.

Here are a few of my favorite ways to turn stale bread into a delicious, recycled dish. 

Italian or French Loaves

Bread Crumbs

These crusty loaves make the perfect bread crumbs. All you have to do is tear the leftover baguettes into small pieces and let them get really dry. When there is no longer any moisture, run the bread pieces through the food processor until they are a fine powder.

You can leave them plain or add a little garlic powder, oregano, and dried basil for tasty Italian bread crumbs that pair perfect in a Ceasar salad. These homemade bread crumbs will also come in handy when making homemade meatballs or meatloaf. 

uses for stale bread

For the best results, soak the breadcrumbs in milk before adding them to the rest of your recipe. Trust me, this little step will make all the difference.

The list of ways you can use bread crumbs is endless, but I especially love using my stale bread crumbs as topping for my mac and cheese, cheese casserole, or any other pasta casserole as it adds a nice crunchy finish. To help the topping brown, add a dash of paprika to the crumbs. When I make a baked mostaccioli, I add some grated Romano cheese to the crumbs for an extra tasty topping. 

Bruschetta and Crostini

Italian and French loaves are also great for making bruschetta or crostini. Thinly slice the loaves before they get too hard and dry them in a low oven set to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. They can be plain to compliment a spicy bruschetta, or you can season them if you wish. For the crostini, I usually toss the dry slices with a little olive oil, oregano, and garlic powder before putting them on a baking sheet. I bake them for 10 minutes in a low oven (same degree setting as mentioned above). Then they are the perfect scoop for Tuscan white bean dip. 

Sliced Whole Wheat

Croutons

Finding a few slices of stale whole wheat bread in your kitchen is the perfect excuse to get creative with your salads. I love whole wheat croutons, and there’s no reason to buy them in bags from the store. You can make your own, and it’ll only take a few minutes. And the best part is they simply taste better, too!

Ideally, you want to start with bread that is stale but still able to be sliced. Slice the bread into cubes, and if you need to, let them dry even more. Once they’re completely dry, toss them with fresh or dried herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. These herbed croutons are perfect for salads and even soups.

homemade croutons

Egg Bread or Challah

There are countless recipes out there for egg bread or challah. If you’re not familiar, this bread is made with eggs and usually braided onto a loaf or coiled into a round. Sometimes it’s topped with sesame or poppy seeds, and some people love their challah with raisins. It’s typically a spongy bread, but it can also be crusty on the outside.

French Toast, Grilled Cheese, and More

Egg bread is so delicious it rarely lasts long enough to go stale, but in case you ever find yourself with a half-eaten loaf a few days old, don’t worry. There’s no need to waste that bread by throwing it away. Stale egg bread or challah is perfect for several recipes.

For breakfast, you can turn it into french toast or stuffed french toast. Come lunch time, that stale bread will be the prime ingredient in your Monte Cristo sandwiches, grilled cheeses, or paninis.  

perfect grilled cheese

Danish or Croissants

You might consider a danish or a croissant to be more pastry than bread, but they all belong in the same family. And as part of the bread family, they have potential to grow stale. If you’re storing your danishes or croissants at room temperature, you only have about two days to enjoy them in their full glory. After that, you’ll get to turn that stale bread into a brand new dish.

Bread Pudding and Stuffing 

One of my favorite ways to use old croissants is to make bread pudding. My family also loves it when I whip up a French toast casserole for brunch. And the best part? They can never tell that delicious casserole is made from recycled ingredients. If you don’t have much of a sweet tooth (lucky you!), try making a stuffing for a thick cut pork chop or a pork roast instead.

Rye Bread

Rye bread is one of the healthiest bread options out there. It’s great if you’re looking to lose weight but still want to eat bread, and research says it can even fight diabetes and asthma. If you don’t eat all your rye bread before it goes stale, you can still reap those health benefits. All you need to do is get a little creative.

Stuffing

Crusty rye bread is an excellent choice for stuffing (we’ve got a delicious twist on the traditional one for you to try right here). One of my go-to rye bread recipes is apple sage stuffing that I use with pork roast. I also have a great recipe for pineapple stuffing to give the perfect amount of sweet to pair nicely with your baked ham. 

rye stuffing

Strata

If you’re looking for something new to make, why not round out your buffet supper with a savory rye strata? One of my favorite types of strata is spinach, mushroom, and smoked Gouda cheese.  There are endless combinations of vegetables and meats for a strata. Consider using your old rye cubes with chunks of ham, pineapple, collards, and Swiss cheese.

Other rye strata combos that I have tried are: 

  • Bacon, onion, tomato with cheddar 
  • Corned beef, Swiss and cabbage or sauerkraut 
  • Mushrooms and tomatoes with rosemary and thyme 

Stratas are great because they allow you to be truly creative in the kitchen. You can follow a recipe, but feel free to customize based on what you (and your picky little eaters!) like best. 

Repurposing stale bread into your recipes is not only a great choice for your cooking, but it’s also economical and eco-friendly. It’ll save you money you would otherwise spend on store-bought croutons, bread crumbs, etc, and you won’t be wasting the packaging and energy that goes into making those store-bought products. It’s a win-win situation no matter what you make from it.
