Instructions
In a pan, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, ground turkey, and chopped onion. Cook and crumble ground turkey until no longer pink and cooked through. Drain grease and extra liquid.
Add the packet of taco seasoning, water, diced green chilies, and black olives. Stir together and let it come to a boil. Once boiling turn heat to medium-low and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
Serve in corn taco shells (or flour tortillas for soft tacos) and top with all your favorite taco toppings. Lots of shredded cheese is a must!
Notes
Nutrition information is for one taco with one serving of the taco meat. It does not include cheese or other toppings. Optional : I like to blend up the canned diced green chilies in a blender before adding to the ground turkey so that there are no chunks in the taco meat. This is optional and great for pickier eaters.
