Turkey Tacos

This is a simple recipe that is easy to scale and to modify. It comes out to about $1.10 per serving with the base recipe. If you can, skip the pre-packaged taco seasoning and season it yourself. This will let you control the amount of sodium going into the recipe. You can also substitute steak, ground beef, chicken thighs, or shrimp. If you opt for ground beef, choose at least 85% lean to match the nutritional profile of the ground turkey.

Ingredients

Makes 4-6 Servings

1 lb Ground Turkey

1 Can Sweet Corn

1 Can Black Beans

1 tbsp Cumin

1 tbsp Garlic Powder

Preparation

Cook defrosted ground turkey in a skillet or non stick pan. Drain and rinse the corn and black beans and add to the pan. Add cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to taste. Optionally add salt. Serve with flour tortillas. 1 lb of turkey should make about 4 servings with 30 grams of protein. Garnish with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and/or sour cream.
