Does anyone have an interesting recipe for minced Lamb/Turkey?
We don't eat beef - but we do eat lamb and turkey. But other than spaghetti bolognese and sheperd's pie we never seem to use any good recipes for minced meat - anyone got any ideas?!
Thanks so much for your time and help.
Answers:
Add finely chopped onions, garlic, fresh coriander, some mixed spice and roll into small meatballs (lamb mince) and cook them in a spicy tomato sauce - it is really nice

There are lots of greek and middle eastern recipes that call for minced lamb.
Pitta pockets
Finely chop a small onion, fry gently until soft, add lamb mince and fry gently until cooked...during the cooking add mild curry powder, about 2 tea spoons to start, a dash of tomato puree and garlic puree (can leave garlic if you don't like it) chilli flakes, and stir in a couple of tablespoons of natural yoghurt and if you have it a dash of mint sauce...keep tasting and adjusting to your own taste...
When fully cooked add garden peas (frozen) and continue cooking until peas done.
Warm some Pitta breads, cut Pitta breads in half, open to make a pocket and stuff with mixture...I usually put a bit of chopped cucumber and raw onion in as well,
Eat in a very sloppy manner, delicious...
Middle Eastern Turkey Dogs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound ground turkey
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, and salt. In a large bowl, crumble the ground turkey; slowly work in seasoning mixture with your hands, distributing seasoning as evenly as possible. Divide into 8 equal balls. On a flat surface, roll out each turkey ball into a tube shape.
Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and set it over medium heat. Place turkey tubes into the skillet; cook, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven about 6 minutes
