Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 pieces taco shells or tortillas
Toppings
  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • shredded cheese
  • sour cream
  • salsa

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients so you’re ready to cook. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Cooking Turkey
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the ground turkey. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula (approx. 5-7 minutes).
Add Aromatics
  1. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Season the Mixture
  1. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir well to coat the turkey evenly. Add a splash of water if it feels too dry and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Warm Shells
  1. While the turkey mixture is cooking, warm your taco shells or tortillas according to package directions.
Assemble Tacos
  1. Fill each taco shell with the turkey mixture and top with your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
Serve
  1. Enjoy your Ground Turkey Tacos hot with family and friends!

Notes

For substitutions, try swapping the ground turkey with Halal-ground chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Ensure the turkey is moist and not overcooked for the best experience. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
