Ground Turkey Tacos

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 4-8 each tortilla wraps

Toppings

  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese

  1. Using a large skillet over medium heat, begin browning the ground turkey. Mix seasonings in a small bowl, add to ground turkey and stir to combine. Continue to break apart the turkey as it cooks into a crumble.

  2. Meanwhile, prep veggies by dicing or slicing peppers, peeling and grating carrots, lightly chopping spinach and grating cheese. Keeping separate, set aside.

  3. Once turkey is no longer pink, fill tortillas and add toppings.

  4. If a traditional taco is not what you are looking for, use the ground turkey to make a taco salad.
