When you’re following Weight Watchers it seems like every single recipe centers around chicken breast. It’s chicken this and chicken that. I get it, chicken breast is zero points. Guess what? So is ground turkey breast. That opens up a whole new world. Be prepared to add these healthy ground turkey breast recipes to your menu plan.

You’ll find more Weight Watchers Turkey Recipes here. 

Note that by using 99% fat-free ground turkey breast in these recipes it cuts the points even more.

There are 38 recipes listed below which is more than a months worth of dinner ideas. How cool is that?

Point Calculation Note: WW/Weight Watchers has changed their point program since I calculated this recipe according to the Freestyle Plan. You’ll need to adjust the points according to your particular plan.
