Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 taco seasoning packet
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can (4.5 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 can (2.25 oz) chopped black olives drained if needed

Tacos

  • 12 corn taco shells or flour tortilla for soft tacos
  • chopped green lettuce
  • chopped roma tomatoes
  • shredded cheese
  • sour cream

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.
