Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Once the turkey is browned, stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Add the tomato paste and chicken broth to the mixture, stirring until the turkey is evenly coated and the paste is well combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Stir in the lime juice and give everything a final mix.
Remove from heat and serve the turkey taco meat in your choice of taco shells or tortillas with your favorite toppings.
