Amy
recently switched from beef to turkey out of curiosity for taste and now i can't get enough!
i need ideas now for how to cook the ground turkey... i've taken my favorite ground beef recipes and already made those...
stuffed peppers, meatloaf, meatballs, burgers, "hamburger helper" type casseroles (noodles, veggies, sauce or cheese...)
anyone have any other quick turkey recipes? i say quick because i have done alot of web browsing but seem to find recipes that either require over an hour to prepare (sorry, no time for that on weekdays after work) or more than 20 ingredients/rare ingredients...
anyone?

Do you like soups? Here are some recommendations form a friend's recipe box...
You could try this chili:
* 2 cans of condensed tomato soup
* 1 can of tomato paste
* 1 packet of chili mix
* about ½ cup of water
* 1 tsp. of beef bullion
* 1 can light red kidney beans
* however much ground meat was leftover from last night
* 1 tsp. cumin
* 1 tsp. black pepper
* a dash of cayenne pepper
* a dash of paprika
* a dash of garlic
...and I slapped it into the crock pot on low for 8 hours.
9 Can vegetable soup:
Nine Can Vegetable Soup
* 2 cans Hormel chili, any variety
* 1 can vegetable soup
* 1 can green beans
* 1 can sliced new potatoes
* 1 can mixed vegetables
* 1 can corn
* 2 cans diced tomatoes (for extra kick, use a can of tomatoes with green chilies in place of one can of diced tomatoes).
Optional: 1lb ground meat*
Dump the entire contents of every can into the crockpot - liquid and all.
*Brown turkey or beef and drain and add to veggies in crockpot. Heat on low all day, or on high for less than 2 hours.
I think I make this different every time. I usually only use 1 can of diced tomatoes... and substitute a can of beans or whatever looks good, or maybe an extra can of vegetable soup. This time I used Beef with Barley & Vegetables as the soup, and the diced tomatoes with roasted garlic. Also, I usually get the Hormel chili, one can with beans, one can without.

cooking for lunch... recipes?
Q. Anyone have any recipes for an easy lunch. I find that I can make dinners but for some reason lunch is a challenge. I don't want to make a two hour lunch and I have 5 children to cook for, when there is no school. I can't even seem to grocery shop well to accommodate lunch!
Answer
Sandwiches i.e. ham & cheese, tuna/chicken salad, chicken or turkey breast, lettuce & tomatoes. Have a little side of cold potato or mac salad. Keep lots of fresh fruit around to go with - apples, bananas, oranges, raisins, grapes, yogurt or little pudding cups, fruit salad or a few chips. Kid ideas - mac n cheese, sloppy joes, kabobs (fruit w a yogurt dipping sauce or chicken nuggets). If you make meatloaf or meatballs the night before, make a meatloaf or meatball sanwich. Cold pasta salads are healthy, and you can add in any veggies, cherry tomatoes, and dressing (i.e. Italian etc.). Make the sandwiches interesting - roll em up in a flour tortilla or use a star shaped cookie cutter for the bread. Or little min pizzas on a flour tortilla - lay out the toppings & let the kids have fun making their own. Eggs/frittatas are easy - add in mushrooms, onions, shredded cheese.
