V's Ground Turkey Tacos

Ground Turkey Tacos

I make these healthy Turkey Tacos every single week! They are so delicious and flavorful, everyone loves them, and they’re ready in 15 minutes.

I don’t necessarily go out of my way to eat things like turkey meatballs or turkey meatloaf on a regular basis, even though they are delicious. But when it comes to tacos: Turkey Tacos are my first and only choice. They are ready in record time in a delicious, flavorful sauce so good you’ll never miss the beef.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon olive oil or vegetable oil

1 onion chopped finely

2 tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning or 1 packet store-bought

3 cloves garlic minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 pound ground turkey

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (see notes)

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon brown sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Corn tortillas or flour tortillas

Preparation:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

• Add taco seasoning, garlic, and oregano, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

• Add ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through but still slightly pink, about 2 minutes.

• Stir in tomato sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

• Divide filling evenly among tortillas and serve with healthy garnishes such as shredded lettuce, diced tomato and avocado, scallions, and cilantro leaves.

Additional Notes

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste plus 1/2 cup water may be substituted for the tomato sauce.
