Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 yam, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ pound ground turkey
½ cup chopped sweet onion
1 clove garlic, minced
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup tomatillo salsa
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
16 warm flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Put the diced yam in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.

GROUND TURKEY TACO MEAT



Ground Turkey Taco Meat image

This recipe has fewer calories because of the ground turkey and amazing flavor! It is a little spicy, but our family enjoys it this way. Because it has so much flavor, you cannot even tell it's not ground beef. It tastes great as a topping on baked potatoes as well as tacos. Enjoy!

SPICY TURKEY TACOS



Spicy Turkey Tacos image

Tastier, cheaper, and healthier than the traditional beef with store bought seasoning. If you're not sure about the turkey, go with ground turkey thighs---it's darker, and most people will never know the difference.
