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.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used a mild salsa instead of the spicy sauce. The tacos were still delicious.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option, and it still tastes great.

These tacos were a hit with my family! The turkey was flavorful and juicy, and the spicy sauce added just the right amount of heat. I'll definitely be making these again.
