SPICY TURKEY TACOS
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.

TURKEY TACOS WITH SPICY TOMATOES
Steps:
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic about 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in turkey, tomatoes, lentils, cumin, and chili powder. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. To serve, spoon about ¼ cup meat mixture into each taco shell. Top with sour cream, romaine, cheese, avocado and radishes, as desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: For the best flavor, use ground turkey that is at least 85% lean. You can also use a combination of ground turkey and ground chicken or beef.
- Season the turkey well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and seasonings when cooking turkey. This will help to give it flavor and depth of taste.
- Cook the turkey thoroughly: Turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat and that it is tender and juicy.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your tacos will taste. Try to use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
- Don't overstuff the tacos: Tacos should be filled with just enough ingredients so that you can still fold them up without them falling apart. If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to eat and they will fall apart.
Conclusion:
Spicy turkey tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spicy turkey tacos a try.
