I try to get creative with the ground meats and I didnt see any threads with recipes only pertaining to ground meat recipes. Here are a few that I like that are simple, lean and easy:
Turkey Chili-
lean ground turkey (can sub beef or chicken)
1 can rotel diced tomatoes with green chilis
1 can low sodium chili beans
1 small/medium onion (chopped)
diced jalepenos (optional)
shredded fat free cheddar (I use kraft because it melts best)
chopped green onions
1/4 to 1/2 packet of chili seasoning- low sodium
1/4 to 1/2 packet of taco seasoning- low sodium
cayenne pepper- to liking
lousiana hot sauce- to liking
spray a pan with non fat cooking spray and brown the onions, add the turkey and the taco seasoning and cook through, continue to add the rest of the ingredients except for the cheese and green onions. Add those last on each individual serving.
Turkey "Cheese Steak"
this is my lean version of a cheese steak.
lean ground turkey (can sub chickin or beef)
chopped mushrooms
chopped onions
black pepper
garlic salt
any other spices you like to add
kraft fat free slices (swiss, american, cheddar, your choice)
Cook onions and mushrooms until slightly brown. Add turkey and cook all the way through with spices. Place a slice of cheese over each individual serving while hot and mix through for a low carb version of cheese steak. You can also wrap in lettuce for added greens.
