My ground turkey secret (shhhhh...)

We all have recipes that call from ground beef. Of course beef is expensive as well as being high in cholesterol. Turkey on the other hand is a healthier and cheaper version. You can buy it in 1lb chubs in nearly any supermarket. Next time you make a recipe that calls for ground beef, why not use 1/2 the beef it asks for and add sub ground turkey for the other 1/2? Ground turkey has a little different texture and color than beef, so don't be surprised when you take it out of the package, but trust me it will brown up great. It browns even better when you add the beef because the beef has the extra fat that the Turkey needs to cook and remain moist. This trick works best in recipes that call for "crumbles" and adds spices such as spaghetti, taco meat, shepherd pie etc. By using 1/2 of each in the recipe, you family won't be able to tell the difference.
