does anyone out there have any good recipes using the
"turkey store" products, ie, ground turkey, turkey breast slices--

i'm looking for something quick and easy, and not too exotic
(as it's to feed small childern as well as adults) 

perhaps substituting turkey for recipes that call for chicken 
would work, anyone tried this?

Believe it or not--I bought a cook book called something like "Famous
Name Brand Recipes" for $3.98 on sale.  It had a lot of good turkey
recipes for "store bought" turkey products--and not all of them used
processed turkey.  This book in general had a lot of good recipes.  I
know--a lot of purists say I don't want to cook everything with spam and
jello--but this book had a lot of recipes using fresh ingredients from
scratch.  The reason it qualified as a "name brand" recipe was because
it would call for something like Christian Brothers Sherry or Diamond
Walnuts.

Here's an example:

Combine 2 teaspoons ground mace, 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper,
4 teaspoons salt (I used less), and 1 clove garlic with a mortar and
pestel.  Rub this mixture thoroughly into a 4 lb. boneless pot roast.
Place roast in a bowl or marinator with 1/2 cup (Heinz) cider vinegar
(any other brand would do).  Marinate over night.  Drain roast and
discard marinade.  Brown roast on all sides in oil in a Dutch oven.
Combine 3/4 C (Heinz) ketchup (I used 1/2 C ketchup and 1/4 C homemade
chili sauce), 1/4 C water, 1 medium onion chopped, and 1 bell pepper
chopped.  Pour over roast.  Cover and bake at 350 for 2-3 hours.

This pot roast is tender and absolutely delicious!

Yes. Generally, substituting turkey for chicken works fine.
