Instructions
1-First, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. This step kicks off the cooking process and helps brown the meat nicely. Adding the oil ensures your ground turkey cooks evenly without sticking.
2-Next, add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Break it into smaller pieces as it cooks and drain any excess grease if needed. This keeps the meat from becoming greasy and maintains that perfect texture for your tacos.
3-Then, stir in ยฝ cup of tomato sauce along with 1 teaspoon chili powder, ยฝ teaspoon ground coriander, ยฝ teaspoon garlic powder, ยฝ teaspoon onion powder, ยผ teaspoon dried oregano, and salt to taste. Mix everything well and cook for another minute to let the flavors blend. This step is key to creating that flavorful turkey taco filling everyone loves.
4-Remove the skillet from the heat once done. Spoon the seasoned turkey into your tortillas, which could be corn tortillas for a traditional touch. Finally, top with favorites like shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices and serve right away.
