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.
