Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it's translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until the turkey is well coated with the spices.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the liquid reduce slightly.
Stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro, mixing well to incorporate fully.
Serve the turkey taco meat with your favorite keto-friendly toppings, such as lettuce wraps, cheese, avocado, or sour cream, for a delightful meal.
