How can I make this dish better?

Posted: Feb 19, 2011

A couple weeks ago I cooked some ground turkey and added a can of white beans to it and I absolutely loved it but it seemed like lt was missing something. I served it with some brown rice (which I didn't like at all - seemed bland) and I had steamed brocoli on the side. I'd like to do the ground turkey with white beans again, but just seems like something is missing. What would you add to it to make it better?

Sounds like it needs some cooked/caramelized onion and a Little bit of tomato-something, maybe canned diced (drained).

I have a recipe from Allrecipes.com for white chili and ground turkey that I plan on trying someday. Maybe take a look at it online and get some ideas for spices from it? As for your original recipe, I would add onion and garlic, maybe try a touch of sage and/or poultry seasoning? Sorry, my brain is not in creative mode right now. : )

I would add - love to cook

some diced onion, red and/or green pepper and garlic while cooking the ground turkey, as well as seasoning, including salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. I would also either dice some roma tomatos or add a can of diced tomato for a little color and acid. You could also add a little bit of bacon to give it a smoky flavor or it you do not want to use bacon, you could use some smoked paprika. I would let it all simmer either in a crock pot or on low on the stove for a while for the flavors to all marry together. When you serve it, you could melt some cheese on the top of the bowls, I prefer cheddar but jack cheese would go well too.

You've got a winner. You also reminded me that I need to find smoked paprika on the internet. None of my grocery stores carry it.

We really need a cooking/recipe section here.

I think she is using turkey for heathbenefits instead of - beef. Bacon defeats that purpose.

Just enough bacon to flavor does not defeat - health benefits. NM

I like the white chili idea too. You can even buy the little bag of mix for white chicken chili. I would use white kidney beans, cilantro and lime, and top it with cheese. Serve with tortilas or tortila chips.

Let's increase the number of HB2 visas from previous years. I do wonder what those workers are paid. Is the real reason that there are not enough workers or is that just the excuse these companies get to use for paying less wages? Maybe if the places like Mar-a Lago would pay a decent wage (no, I'm not talking about $20 an hour), which I am sure they can afford, maybe they would be able to get Americans to work these jobs. ...

The so-called racist Republican justice of the peace who refused to perform an interracial marriage was really a lifelong democrat UNTIL 2008, when he switched parties. He was STILL a DEMOCRAT when he refused to do the ceremony and three other interracial marriages as well. The media ONLY got on this one when they thought they could say this guy was a racist republican. They ignored this story when he was a raaaaacist DEMOCRAT, which he was when he refused to do these ceremonies! How t ...

such as cutting living expenses, groceries, quality of life maybe just to work less and enjoy life more. I have been an MT for 18 years and feel like I am wasting precious life and things I really want to do by sitting in this chair from sun up to sun down. I personally think by re-budgeting things and working less would be so worth it in the long run.

We've been asking the wrong question. My family has a business. We hire people, so according to the current standards, we should not have to pay taxes. We are creating jobs. However, we have not yet reached that magic number. It's higher than most of you think. You have to make more than a million a year, much more than that probably, before you get to stop paying taxes. Before you get to that point, you get to save money in other ways. I paid cash for my house. I pay cash for ...
