If you’re tired of the same old taco routine, give these a try. I tweaked a friend’s recipe to suit our tastes and my family’s loved it since. It’s so tasty and low maintenance. —Ally Billhorn, Wilton, Iowa

This recipe is a nice substitute for the usual beef meat loaf. It’s plenty moist and so flavorful with the sweet red pepper. Leftovers are great for sandwiches the next day.

This recipe is as tasty as the lettuce wraps found in national restaurants, but it’s healthier! — Linda Rowley, Richardson, Texas
Spinach Turkey Meatballs
Go to Recipe
Our children call these “Gramby Meatballs” because the recipe came from my dear mother-in-law. It’s a great way to make spinach palatable. I usually make a triple batch, bake them all and freeze the extras for a quick meal later. —Mimi Blanco, Bronxville, New York

My go-to meal after an evening run is this satisfying turkey wrap with jicama, a potato-like root veggie used in Mexican cooking. —Christie Arp, Blue Ridge, Georgia
Sneaky Turkey Meatballs
Go to Recipe
Like most kids, mine refuse to eat certain veggies. In order to feed them healthy foods, I have to be sneaky sometimes. The veggies give these meatballs a pleasing texture while providing valuable nutrients—and I’m happy to say my kids love ’em. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
Healthy Steamed Dumplings
Go to Recipe
My family loves Chinese food, but it’s hard to find healthy choices in restaurants or at the grocery store. So instead, I make these healthy dumplings into a great family activity. With many hands helping out, filling the dumplings goes by fast. When we are done, we have lots of dumplings to put in the freezer for months to come. —Melody Crain, Houston, Texas
Sage Turkey Sausage Patties

When you want to cut salt and saturated fat, turkey sausage is a wonderful option. The aroma of these patties sizzling in the pan will wake up any sleepyhead. —Sharman Schubert, Seattle, Washington
Turkey Tortellini Toss

Slow-Cooked Pizzaiola Meat Loaf
I like to add Italian Castelvetrano olives to the meat loaf mixture in this recipe. They’re bright green, very mild and fruity, and are available in the deli section of the grocery store. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts
