Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: Look for a turkey breast that is between 3 and 4 pounds. This will yield about 2 pounds of cooked turkey, which is enough for 4-6 tacos.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Cook the turkey on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Overcooking the turkey will make it dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for onions, bell peppers, and corn, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include carrots, celery, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Season the turkey and vegetables well: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to season the turkey and vegetables. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are always the best option for tacos. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can use store-bought tortillas, but make sure to heat them up before serving.
  • Top the tacos with your favorite toppings: Some popular taco toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. You can also get creative and add other toppings, such as pico de gallo, pickled onions, or jicama slaw.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker turkey tacos recipe is an easy and delicious way to make tacos at home. The turkey is cooked until it is tender and juicy, and the vegetables are soft and flavorful. The tacos are then topped with your favorite toppings and served with a side of rice or beans. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
