Ingredients
Taco Meat
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
Cooking the Turkey
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, then add ground turkey and chopped onion. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the turkey, until no longer pink and the onion is soft, then drain excess fat.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then sprinkle taco seasoning over the turkey and mix well.
Simmer and Serve
- Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until most liquid is absorbed and turkey is well-seasoned.
- While the turkey simmers, warm tortillas using a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
- Set out warm tortillas, seasoned turkey, and all desired toppings for everyone to assemble their own tacos.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin along with the taco seasoning. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference for a spicier kick. Enjoy this easy and delicious weeknight meal!
