Made Hamburger Helper Tonight with Ground Turkey

I don't use ground turkey often because of a bad experience with a pack I bought a few years ago that ended up having a lot of bones. However, I had some from Costco in my freezer and decided to go with that instead of ground beef. Overall, I'd say it wasn't bad. The Hamburger Helper itself left something to be desired but other than the lighter color, there wasn't a noticeable difference in taste so I guess that will be back on my list of meat choices.

What is Hamburger Helper ? Not sure I have ever seen it here to be honest Is it some sort of seasoning kit

It's a meal kit. You add hamburger (or in my case, ground turkey) the kit provides the rest.

I usually only use ground turkey for taco and add taco seasoning, but I wouldn’t mind trying it in Hamburger Helper.

I have used it with Hamburger Helper before. Seems fine. I used it as Sloppy Joe meat the other day.

I buy ground white turkey from Aldi and it’s really good. We even make meat loaf with it and actually it’s delicious. Plus it’s about half the price of ground beef!
