Texas Turkey Tacos Recipes

TURKEY TACOS

Steps:

• TURKEY TACO MEAT: Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add in the garlic and cook for 20-30 seconds. Add all of the seasonings: 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon beef bouillon powder. Stir the spices until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Nothing should be burning; reduce the heat if needed.
• TACO MEAT CONT.: Add in the ground turkey. Crumble the meat into small pieces and cook until no longer pink (but not cooked through all the way), about 5-8 minutes. Add in the tomato sauce and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits (this is where the flavor is!). Let simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until fully cooked through, and then remove from heat.
• ASSEMBLY: Char/warm tortillas (Note 1). Add even amounts of the meat and then sprinkle cheese on top. The taco meat should be hot enough that the cheese will melt. Immediately add toppings of choice. Our favorites are a big scoop of sour cream, ripe sliced avocado (or guacamole), a few chopped cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Enjoy hot!

GROUND TURKEY TACOS

• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onion and cook until onion becomes translucent. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat with the side of a spoon, just until meat is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in chili powder, salt, and tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Add broth and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid becomes thick and clings to meat.
• Divide meat mixture, cheese, lettuce, and tomato among taco shells and serve immediately with optional sour cream, pico de gallo, and avocado.
