Turkey Tacos
In my house, Turkey Tacos are a sure thing—we never have leftovers. I love this recipe because it’s ready in less than 30 minutes and it’s packed with loads of nutrient-rich ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1¼ pounds ground turkey, at least 90% lean
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix, preferably low-sodium or 2 tablespoons of my DIY Taco Seasoning Blend
- 2 cups chopped or shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
- 8 corn taco shells, hard or soft
- Salsa and/or hot sauce, optional
- Nonfat plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream, optional
- Optional toppings of your choice, feel free to experiment with other toppings, including chopped bell peppers, red onions, beans, corn, guacamole and more
Instructions
- In a large skillet misted with nonstick oil spray, cook the turkey over medium-high heat until browned. Drain the fat. Stir in the taco seasoning with a bit of water (as indicated on the seasoning package) and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Evenly divide the turkey mixture, lettuce, tomato, and cheese among the taco shells. Top with salsa, hot sauce, and Greek yogurt, if desired. Alternatively, set up a toppings bar and let everyone fend for themselves.
