Since my husbands heart surgery,. he has decided to eat better. So I bought some ground turkey and ground turkey sausage and I think both taste really bad. This was for spaghetti, so I added a lot of oregano, basil, and garlic, yet the flavor of the meat was similar mutton I had tried years ago and thought was super gross.
I also bought ground chicken, but I still have the turkey and turkey sausage. Does anyone have any idea to make this meat edible?

I use ground turkey in meatballs, meatloaf, chili, and meat sauce for pasta. I cook the meatballs and meat sauce in seasoned tomato sauce. The meatloaf gets a tomato glaze. The chili gets crushed tomatoes and lots of spices. My ex husband never liked ground turkey but he couldn't tell that I was using it in those thinigs.
I've never liked ground chicken though.

I did the same thing, except I also seasoned the meat. How is it that your husband never knew? There has to be something you are doing or maybe the seasonings you are using?

I think it might be the name brand. I cooked the ground chicken and it was delicious.

Is there a certain brand name you use? Because what I got really tastes bad.

I was hoping to just use it as a replacement for recipes I already have.

Turkey wings, or just turkey is delicious, but ground up to use to make tacos, it was not good at all.

I love turkey, but not ground turkey. There has to be some way to make it edible.

I think it is just a question of getting used to it. You might find at some point you actually prefer it.alot less grease to worry about.

That's okay. I did find the ground chicken was good, yet a little pricier.
