Ground Turkey Tacos

Image
Ground Turkey Tacos  Ground Turkey Tacos are my favorite recipe ever! Who doesn't like tacos? My favorite shells to use are corn tortillas or lettuce wraps. They are a much healthier option than regular tortillas. Using turkey is a healthier option because it is leaner than beef. My boyfriend thought he would not like them but now asks for them all the time! What you need:  1 pound ground turkey 1 chopped yellow onion 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon salt corn tortillas or lettuce wraps 1 tablespoon olive oil optional toppings: salsa, cheese (any type), avocado, cilantro, tomato, shredded lettuce How to make them: 1: Add olive oil to medium-high heat, add onion, cook until onion becomes golden, add turkey meat and cook until it is cooked all the way through 2: Stir in chili powder and salt until everything is mixed together and take off heat  3: Prepare any additional toppings Simple and quick!
