I found something new out today

[alexfitch225]

I got home from work today off of a 14 hour shift, my lady made dinner and had it ready for me when I got home. Now I'm truly grateful for her doing that, but something tasted off about the meat loaf she made. She tells me she mad it with ground turkey meat (the ground beef substitute) and I have to say I absolutely can't stand the taste of it. I've never had it before but man oh man is that an acquired taste, I get that it's supposed to be healthier for you but man I just couldn't do it.

When I see any sausage or ground meat and it has turkey or chicken as a part of it, FORGETABOUTIT!

 

[Onomea]

That's tough, both for you after your long shift, and for your missus who was doing her best to take care of you.

You have my permission to get a couple of large ribeyes. (You should cook 'em to show your appreciation.)

I wish luckily enough I have some left over chilli in the fridge.

To give it some flavor, mix a pound of ground beef in with the turkey. The beef overpowers the turkey and gives it some taste. And while not quite as good for you as pure ground turkey, it is still more healthy than pure ground beef.

Give it a try.

And now you know why a good steak is measured by not needing any additional sauces, but a Thanksgiving turkey REQUIRES dressing and some sort of nasty gravy to make it edible.

Not if you deep fry that puppy!

The first time my wife made a meat loaf from turkey, we both agreed that it was the last time that turkey would be used for meat loaf. We are back to the beef hamburger and pork sausage meat loaves!

I like turkey in sandwiches and at Thanksgiving, but not a lot of it. Now the chicken dressing....... that's another story. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Turkey meatloaf can be good if prepared well with lots of spice, garlic, fried onions and other good veggies

Franks with chicken might be healthier than all beef but I am not a fan

 

[soFlaNative]

My wife prepped something called turkey bacon.
I liked it OK but it needs a different name.
Calling that substance bacon just ain't right, almost criminal.

 

[Onomea]

I'm thinking, to make that turkey meatloaf? Start with a half pound of ground turkey. (Or a quarter pound if you are feeling dainty.) Now put that off to the side.

Fry up a half pound of bacon, snipped, cut or chopped into small pieces.

When there's plenty of bacon fat, and the bacon is starting to look cooked, throw in the half pound of ground turkey, and mix it up.

After it is well mixed, and kinda cooked, throw in a pound of ground round, and mix it up.

Then hand off the concoction to the missus to make the turkey meatloaf.

Yessir. Bet that's the way to make a turkey meatloaf taste good!

When my wife and I were first married 40+ years ago, she made a "Tuna Casserole" about once a week. It was horrible but I ate it and smiled. Took 5 years before I said something about not really liking it that well.
Now I'm retired, I do most of the cooking.

Turkey and Chicken "Meat products" were not invented to help your health! They were invented to sell more birds.

Many of the soy "Meat substitutes" were invented for vegetarian and religious concerns. I don't enjoy their flavors either, but I don't consider their existence a sin, like I do the bird products!

[Craver]

We use ground turkey and chicken Mexican style dishes; tacos, stir fries, maybe chilli. Only beef loafs and beefburgers lol. I'll suck it up and eat the turkey just to show my wife I appreciate her cooking dinner. I'm a lucky gen Y'er that has an amazing woman who takes care of her family many times before herself.

No need to give up beef. It will cost a little bit more but it is not the beef that is bad for you. It's the hormones, chemical, antibiotics they put in it. and all that stuff that is in the GRAIN the feed it. Get the GRASS FED beef and you are home free. Bison is also good and VERY TASTY.

Uncured Bacon and cage free chicken with Omega 3 are also very good for you.

Olive oil is your friend. Coconut oil too. Corn and peanut oil not so much. Processed food in general are not good for you because of preservatives and chemical used in the process.

Again it will cost a little more but organic veggies are the way to go and for the same reasons.

KERRYGOLD is butter imported from Ireland. It is made from the milk of grass fed cows. It is naturally softer and it is delicious.

Lots of good stuff is out there if you look around...do a little research.

 

[Rule3]

It all depends on what percentage of ground beef you get.

If you buy very lean ground beef like sirloin it has less fat then the gross ground turkey.

There are different ground turkey also, Ground "parts" or ground white meat (breast) vs extra lean ground beef.

Read the labels, look it up.

 

[UncleEd]

Rule3 has hit on it.

Lots of chicken and turkey products actually have
within them the fatty skins and parts that do nothing
to really reduce the fat content.

 

[old bear]

I make a good Chili using ground Turkey, but that is the only thing I'll use it for.

 

[OGDOUBLEJ]

My wife and I only use ground turkey. Except for meatloaf. One beef and one turkey for that. Everything else get seasoning packets mixed In or a sauce that covers the difference in flavor. Even burgers.

Although nothing beats a nice juicy beef steak.

Made this the other day. Takes all of 5 min (per individual steak). Salt and pepper thoroughly on both sides, add other spices if you wish but salt and pepper is all that's needed. While your doing that let the pan heat up. (You can let the steaks sit for a little bit to release the juices that's up to you)

Throw them on the skillet about 2 min each side. This will depend on the size of the steak of course. The thicker ones will need more time. I've done thick steaks before for 7 min on one side and 5 on the other. When you flip it over throw some butter on the skillet.... about a teaspoon full. Then do about the same onto the steak. Rub it on and let it melt.

When done put it on a plate and let it sit for 5 - 10 min depending on the size of the steak. Grab a fork and knife and dig in!!

Well said. You are what you eat. CAFO poultry, pork and beef are poison. ALL bison is grass fed and antibiotic free. There are no bison feedlots that pump them full of corn and soy. American grocery store lamb is finished exactly like beef. Aussie lamb is grass fed and finished. No feedlots for sheep in OZ. I love KerryGold butter, but there are domestic grass fed butters available as well.
The eggs you buy on sale at the grocery store are laid by hens kept in pens so small they can't turn around. At about 18 months of age those poor birds are spent; burnt out. They are then slaughtered, ground up and served to you at McDonald's or the school cafeteria. "Free range" and "cage free" are deceptive terms and not worth the extra expense. Buy pastured eggs, local if you can find them. Look beyond the sale pages.

I long ago gave up eating turkey at Thanksgiving and Xmas. Give me a good porketta, a food shown to cure eating disorders.

 

[rwsmith]

If it tastes goo...

....it is bad for you

 

[LostintheOzone]

I really don't care for turkey much. I can make a sandwich using turkey cold cuts but I would prefer buffalo chicken. I can only eat so much turkey in any given month, maybe 2 or 3 times. Turkey sausage isn't a substitute for anything, that stuff is just plain nasty.

I'm pretty sure the turkey growers would go broke if it wasn't for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I once went to a turkey shoot at a large gun range. They were giving out turkeys and hams for prizes. They gave away all the turkeys first because they knew that if they let people choose they would never get rid of the turkeys. When all the turkey was gone you won a ham. My buddy and I had about 5 turkeys between us and we were able to trade a few for hams later in the day. I put the turkeys on the smoker and fed them to my dogs, lasted for months and they never complained. Good dogs.

 

[Arik]

I like turkey. Sausage, burgers, .... whatever. It just depends on how it's made/prepared

You'll change your mind about turkey after your first Angiogram.

I don't do turkey in any fashion, never mind about these new fancy mixes, etc. I'm right there with you on this one.

 

[walkin jack]

Ya know, all this turkey stuff started with turkey bacon. It didn't LOOK like real bacon, it didn't TASTE like real bacon and it didn't have the same TEXTURE as real bacon. Yet all the makers of it CLAIMED that it did taste like real bacon. Not even close.

It got so popular that I kind of knew that it was going to be used as a substitute for more and more beef and pork products. But I never imagined how popular it would get.

I like traditional Turkey and dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas but that is it. On a rare occasion I'll buy a smoked turkey during the summer time but Never use ANY turkey as a substitute for real beef or pork or anything else.
