I use ground turkey in my tourtiere and in stuffed cabbage leaves. But as others have said any use for ground meat, period. Meatballs. Pot stickers (and other sorts of pierogi, won ton, ravioli). chili or red meat sauce.
I make sausage with it add some sage, fennel seed, red pepper and salt. It is pretty good. We use it in all of the other stuff mentioned above also. I really like it as well or better than ground beef.
