Turkey Tacos

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb (750 g) Ground Turkey

1 small Onion, chopped

1 tbsp (15 mL) Vegetable Oil

1/2 tsp (2 mL) Oregano

1 tbsp (15 mL) Chili Powder

1 tsp (5 mL) each, Salt and Paprika

1/4 tsp (1 mL) Garlic Powder

6 Taco Shells (hard or soft shell)

Directions

Sauté turkey and onion in oil. Add oregano, chili powder, salt, paprika and garlic powder. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally until moisture has evaporated. Heat taco shells in 350°F (180°C) oven for 5 minutes. Spoon turkey mixture into taco shells and top as desired with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and salsa. Variation: Substitute turkey strips and flour tortillas for quick, easy turkey fajitas. You could also serve chopped green onions, black olives, green chilies and avocado as toppings.

Tip

Ground turkey is lower in fat. Cook over moderate heat and only until the pinkness disappears.
