Roast Turkey with Orange-Spice Rub
Spreading the orange zest mixture on the turkey breast may require careful attention, but when you’ve finished that step, you just need to wait for about two hours for the turkey to get fully roasted. The rub goes so well with the meat you want to make it a tasty centerpiece for your holiday feast.

Turkey Burgers with Chipotle Ketchup
Turkey may seem dry for burgers but adding mashed sweet potatoes will solve that problem. And when you add bell peppers, onions, and herbs to the mix, these baked burgers become more exciting for both adults and kids. Serve with chipotle ketchup and sliced avocado, lettuce wraps, or other greens.

Ground Turkey Meatloaf Muffins
This recipe uses mozzarella cheese, ground turkey, and pork rinds for the mini meatloaves, but it also suggests other options that may already be in your fridge. This makes it a popular, flexible dish to serve for busy families. It is also simple to prepare: Mix all ingredients in a bowl and divide the mixture between the muffin tins. Bake and then serve. No slicing needed!
