| Trying to eat healthier. We usually eat a lot of ground beef. So, I’m trying to sub in Turkey and chicken. Any good recipe ideas? |

I do these with ground chicken. https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/05/braised-ginger-meatballs-in-coconut-broth/
Add a bit of olive oil if you use ground chicken breast as it is very dry. |

| I’m allergic to beef. We’ve swapped out 100% of our normal recipes for ground turkey without issue. The only one that was iffy was sloppy Joe’s because the consistency is different. |

Do you literally make your same recipes? I thought I'd need to add some extra stuff to make them more "moist". Sorry. I know people hate that word. |

| I prefer ground chicken to ground turkey. Chicken has more flavor, IMO. I use it in spaghetti sauce and tacos and they taste great. I have also mixed ground chicken and ground beef 50/50 for meatloaf and found it still has great beef flavor without feeling heavy. The meatloaf recipe can easily be used for meatballs as well. |

Not for sloppy joes, tacos, spaghetti, lasagna where there is a highly seasoned sauce. For meatballs, since I don't know what they will be added to, I tend to flavor them a lot. Extra garlic, parm cheese and worcestershire sauce. Whatever combo I fancy that moment. The only time turkey will be dry is if you make just a turkey burger, I would think. Those are not like beef burgers at all. I tend to avoid that, but if I do make one just for me (girl dinner) I make it as per usual and just drench it in relish or salsa :-/ |
