Description
A simple recipe for lean ground turkey tacos seasoned lightly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 ounce) low-sodium taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 12 small corn or whole wheat tortillas
- Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, avocado slices
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Add ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned completely. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
- Serve the turkey mixture in the warmed tortillas with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the meat mixture instead of using a pre-made seasoning packet.
- Use low-sodium broth instead of water for added depth of flavor.
