Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Ground Turkey the star of the show, this lean protein is packed with flavor.
  • 8 oz Tomato Sauce adds moisture and a rich tomato flavor to the filling.
  • 3 tbsp Tomato Paste intensifies the tomato flavor and thickens the mixture.
  • 3 tbsp Taco Seasoning a perfect blend of spices to elevate the taste.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Serving plates

Method
 

  1. In your large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and break it up as it cooks. Brown for about 5-7 minutes until it’s no longer pink.
  2. Once the turkey is cooked, stir in the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Mix well until the turkey is evenly coated.
  3. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Stir to combine and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Prepare your taco shells or tortillas. Spoon the turkey filling into each shell, adding your favorite toppings.
  5. Serve your Ground Turkey Tacos with fresh salsa, guacamole, or toppings like shredded cheese and lettuce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ground turkey can be swapped with ground chicken or a meat alternative.
  • Store leftover turkey mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a low-carb option, use lettuce wraps instead of taco shells.
