GROUND TURKEY TACO MEAT

This recipe has fewer calories because of the ground turkey and amazing flavor! It is a little spicy, but our family enjoys it this way. Because it has so much flavor, you cannot even tell it's not ground beef. It tastes great as a topping on baked potatoes as well as tacos. Enjoy!

TEXAS TACOS



Texas Tacos image

I created this recipe by combining a bunch of taco ingredients that my kids like. Once it's ready, I often keep the beef mixture warm in a slow cooker so the kids can quickly fill taco shells after an afternoon of rigorous soccer practice. -Susan Scully, Mason, Ohio
