GROUND TURKEY TACO NACHOS



Ground Turkey Taco Nachos image

Delicious and filling turkey taco nachos that everyone will love. You can top them with your favorite taco toppings such as lettuce, pico de gallo, light sour cream, or guacamole. I use pre-chopped and pre-shredded vegetables and pico de gallo from the grocery store to save preparation time on a weeknight. I like to include chopped or shredded vegetables I have on hand to boost the nutrition.
