This super-flavorful lighter version of Mexican chorizo is made with lean ground turkey instead of pork. Form into burger patties, stuff inside sausage casings, use as taco meat, or fry some up with eggs! This is what I use to make my Chorizo-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipe, also found on this site. The possibilities are endless!

Tips:

Use high-quality chorizo: The flavor of the chorizo will shine through in the final dish, so it's important to use a good quality chorizo that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey breast can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. To prevent this, cook the turkey breast to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make sure the grits are creamy: The grits should be cooked until they are creamy and smooth. If they are too runny, they will not hold their shape when they are stuffed into the turkey breast.
Serve the turkey breast with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce will help to enhance the flavor of the turkey breast and grits. Some good options include a tomatillo salsa, a mole sauce, or a chipotle cream sauce.

Conclusion:

Chorizo-stuffed turkey breast with Mexican grits is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook turkey, give this recipe a try!
