What would you do with a package of ground turkey?
I am considering tacos, but could be swayed. I am lacking ANY inspiration tonight. Any ideas of what to make?

Our ground turkey staples are:
turkey burgers
meat sauce for pasta
filling for lettuce cups
filling for tacos/enchiladas
meatloaf
Our latest faaaaavorite thing to do with a package of ground turkey is so simple, it's silly. It's no frills. It's totally uninspired. But we have it like 2 nights a week, and it's a total favorite (T said the other day "will ALWAYS be a staple in our home")
We split it into fourths...leaving it just as it comes, just quartered. Then spray a pan over medium heat with olive oil cooking spray, let it heat up, pup in the quartered turkey "patties" and pour on some salt. Press down a bit with a spatula. Let sit for about 4-5 minute, flip over...another 4-5 minutes - delicious, perfect, turkey patties. I have to laugh b/c they're not pretty, I don't mix anything else into them and they look just like they do in the package, but cooked...but the turkey has such great flavor when the salt is cooked into it...we eat that with veggies...I'm not kidding - like, 2 x every week around our house. It's been my favorite way to use it up and not add any weightwatchers points to it at all.
