Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¾ cup chicken broth low sodium
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 12 to 15 corn tortilla white or yellow

Optional Topping Ideas

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onions. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the salt and minced garlic and saute for another minute.
  • Add the ground turkey and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, making sure to break up the pieces with your spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Add the taco seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano to the ground turkey. Give everything a quick mix, it doesn’t have to be perfectly mixed in.
