Recipe Tips
Making turkey tacos is quick and easy with thawed turkey meat. You can choose to use a trivet, or go without. This is a personal preference and I cook without it because it's one less thing to clean later.You can use homemade taco seasoning or storebought, I often flip between the two for my own convenience.Rotel can be switched out for regular chunky salsa. It helps to add moisture, flavor, and even heat if you choose a spicier can.Nutrition information is for ΒΌ cup of filling per taco.
