Turkey Tacos

This is a lower fat version of normal tacos as I use ground turkey instead of ground beef.  Turkey is high in protein and tastes great in a taco.  This is a fun meal to cook for the family, and let everyone make their own tacos.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 10 – 12 Corn tortillas – GF / or flour tortillas

  • 1 lb ground Turkey

  • 1 brown onion diced 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil 

  • 2 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tbsp pure cocoa powder

  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped 

  • 1 ½  cups water

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

 

  • Serve with: 

  • 1 cup cilantro sliced 

  • 2 cups lettuce sliced 

  • 1 cup grated cheese

  • 1 avocado sliced 

  • 1 cup sweetcorn 

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced 

 

 

  • Equipment needed

  • large frying pan to cook turkey

  • another frying pan to heat tacos- or how ever you normally heat them. 

  • Chopping board, 

  • wooden spoons 

Method:

  1. Heat the olive in a pan and add the chopped onions, garlic, paprika and cumin

  2. Fry together until the onion is soft, 2-3 minutes

  3. Add the ground turkey and cook for a further 5 minutes

  4. Add the tomato puree, water and cocoa powder and stir together

  5. Leave to simmer gently for 20 minutes, the liquid will have evaporated mainly leaving a thick sauce covering the ground turkey

  6. Heat up the tacos, and serve the ground turkey in a bowl on the table with the rest of the filling ingredients.  

  7. Let everyone help themselves and make their own tacos
