What can you do with some turkey mince ? (I only bought it because it was cheap.)
Turkey mince dishes ?
I use it to replace beef mince, so you can use it for pretty much everything. I use it for burgers, meatballs, chili con carne etc. For cottage pie etc, it can need something extra to make it more 'savoury' so i tend to use a teaspoon of marmite.
Just look on the net. There are some nice Chinese/Thai mince stirfry dishes. Usually pork mince but turkey wouldbe a good substitute.
I use it in chilli, it works really well but I don't think a turkey mince spaghetti bolognese works at all. It doesn't taste right.

I do something that's in between the two (well it has kidney beans in it and they're often in chilli) with other stuff thrown in for good measure. Turkey mince with bolognese sauce, onion, red kidney beans, spaghetti, ribboned carrots, courgettes and celery. Works for me but I'd eat almost anything.
I think it might be nice to mix it up with spices and put onto skewers as kebab type thingies...I've no recipe and tried it myself but I'm just guessing it would be nice for that.
I make meatloaf with it and turkey muffins http://cleananddelicious.com/2012/06...tloaf-muffins/
I always use turkey BREAST mince, can only get it in sainsburys.
I use itas replacement for beef mince which I find inedible.
After browning I add a concentrated stock cube to add a 'beefy' taste if needed

I make little patties with it, grate an onion in, add some curry powder and coriander and fry or grill. I serve them with minted yoghurt and wedges.

Why on earth would you want to give Turkey a 'beefy' taste?
If you want a beefy taste, eat beef!

Because its lower in calories and fat and my kids think its beef
Turkey mince as a variant on shepherd's/cottage pie. Jazz it up with herbs and spices with emphasis on Lee & Perrins.
Burgers. Dead easy to do.
Pop your mince onto a chopping board, add some finely chopped garlic (garlic paste will also do) and just keep chopping the mince and garlic for a few minutes, the more you chop it, the stickier it becomes, that way you don't need to add anything to it to keep the patties together.
Once you've got it sticky enough, cut it into the desired sizes, flatten them to the thickness you want, shape them to the shape you want ( I leave mine square) then fry them.
Lovely and moist and, most of all, delicious.
