When it comes to keeping paleo, the hardest part can often be figuring out what you are and are not allowed to eat. Ground turkey is a great meat option for when you're tired of chicken, steak and fish—plus it's often cheaper, too! All of the ground turkey recipes below are basically paleo-friendly, but we'll tell you how to tweak them just to be sure.
Keep in mind that all you should always talk to your doctor before beginning any diet.

"Lovely supper, quite delicious! It was nice to find a low-fat recipe like this. I used fresh grated ginger and only had iceberg lettuce, which worked very well to make lettuce roll ups. We really enjoyed them and I will make them again."

For this salad, use paleo-friendly mayonnaise and omit the sour cream.
"My go-to meat sauce! This is the recipe I turn to for anything requiring a meat sauce. Freezes great, too. Don't go for the 99% fat-free ground turkey breast; it turns into styrofoam pellets when cooked. The 93% lean stuff is much better."
