Cooking Tip

Ground Turkey

Ground turkey is very lean and good for you. The toppings provide enough moister to the finished tacos, that it is ok to purchase as lean a turkey product as you wish too.

Cooking Tip

Ground Chicken and Ground Beef

Both are excellent substitutes for the ground turkey. Be sure to buy a high grade ground chicken, to insure quality, and if using beef, whatever grade you buy, be certain to drain off all fat very well.
