Anything you can make with gorund beef can be done with ground turkey.

And you jsut said something different, you didn;t say different from what.

So spaghetti sauce
Burgers
Green chili
Soup
Sloppy Joes
Lasagna
Stuffed peppers

Make Chili with it then instead of the tomatoes use a large can of Hunt's tomato sauce, add green peppers, onions,and beans.

baked macaroni....
boil up a load of macaroni (any shape pasta)
then cook up some onion, garlic, green pepper and the ground turkey... add in some spices, this is the key..
I'd add in some mexican spice blend, like cumin, oregano, garlic, onion. black pepper, and cayenne.. cook up till all done and turkey is browned..

then make a beshamel sauce...
use the 1/1/1 method.. or 2/2/2// depending on how much you need.. its like 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2 cups of milk... melt butter in a sauce pan, blend in flour and milk, till flour is incorporated.. then pour over melted butter and whisk till thickened.. (makes like a gravy).. you can salt and pepper it up ... I add some of the mexican spice in this also to flavor it up more...

then grate some chedder cheese..

layer.. bottom (1/2 the macaroni), then
1/2 the sauce, all the meat, half the cheese. then add the rest of the macaroni on top.. add remaining sauce and sprinkle remaining cheese... bake for 25-30 min on 350F till top is bubbly and browned... this is tasty.. and simple....

they key is in the spices... spice up that meat and it will taste wonderful...

Cooking can be easily learned though trial and error, as well as persistence and creativity, before you reach your goal in creating tasty dishes. As a little kid, I used to try my hand in cooking, and basically stuck with frying potatoes for the next twenty years. But thanks to my mother and searching the Internet, my cooking experiences went beyond the fried potatoes. :)
I've found something that may help in learning the fine art of cooking. I wish you all the best, as cooking is an experience that is well worth the time and patience you put into it.

? 1 T olive oil
? Salt and pepper (don’t be shy here)

? 16 ounce box elbow macaroni

? 14 ounce can beef broth
? ? cup Marsala wine
? ? cup flour
? ? cup water

? 4 ounce jar of roasted red peppers, chopped

Boil the macaroni in plenty of boiling water, to package instructions, but leaving a little on the “al dente” firm side. Drain.

Meanwhile, brown the meat, onions and garlic in oil, with salt and pepper, until meat is cooked and onion is tender. Drain.

Bring beef broth and Marsala wine to a boil. Mix flour and water together and add slowly to liquid, whisking and returning to a boil after each time you add some. You want to thicken the mixture to a consistency of gravy.

Mix the meat mixture, the broth, the macaroni, the peppers, ? cup of the cheese together. Load into a sprayed 9x13 baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and put into the preheated oven for an hour.

Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and heat for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
