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.

Tips:

Choose the right turkey: Look for a turkey that is fresh or thawed and has a plump breast. Avoid turkeys that have been frozen for more than a year.
Brine the turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple saltwater solution or in a more flavorful brine that includes herbs, spices, and citrus.
Roast the turkey properly: Roast the turkey at a low temperature to ensure that it cooks evenly. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make a flavorful gravy: Use the drippings from the turkey to make a delicious gravy. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the gravy to give it more flavor.
Serve the turkey with your favorite sides: Turkey tacos are traditionally served with mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. However, you can also serve them with other sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or beans.

Conclusion:

Turkey tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make turkey tacos that are sure to impress your family and friends.
