Anyone figured out how to make this taste really good? Any specific seasonings or recipes?

Everything I’ve made tastes like a blander version of a beef or chicken meal.

With ground turkey I brown it then add it into a pot with canned tomatoes black beans and corn( all drained). Add some black pepper, cumin and cayenne. Cook some rice while you are doing this and mix it all together.

I use it in my chili recipe. I always brown it in a pan before adding to the slow cooker in beef broth along with the seasonings. Then throw in all my veggies, spices, and sauces and slow cook for 8-10 hours

"Browning your meat" means something totally different to the OP.

if you're making burgers try adding one egg, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce, Colvin Liquid smoke, fresh ground pepper and pink Himalayan salt.

I also like stuffing them with onions and jalapeno peppers.

I eat about a pound of lean ground Turkey a day. Burritos. Large flour tortilla, 1 cup cooked ground turkey, little bit of shredded cheese and I like bbq sauce. My wife preps a dozen or two a week, throw them in the freezer. I have to eat quickly between cases at work. 45 seconds in the microwave and about a minute to eat it. We buy the ground Turkey in the economy 4 packs at Costco

Adding carbs, dairy or a fat to it seems to be the way to make it taste good but defeats the point of having it as a “lean” option.

Can’t wait for the day I have your metabolism! It’s a nice reward for all the work you’ve put in!

Hot sauce oil pepper garlic salt stir fried with green peppers onions green beans topped with a bit of cheese and whatever else you like that makes it not taste so dry. Also, make a sunny side up egg and break the yolk on the turkey
