Turkey Tacos

This recipe for Turkey Tacos isn’t a typical skillet recipe because instead of preparing your greens with the other ingredients in a stockpot or large skillet, you use the greens as a taco “shell”. Butter lettuce and Boston lettuce or other greens, like mature curly kale or collard leaves work well.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 cups thinly slices bell peppers
  • 3 cups thinly sliced onions
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 large lettuce, kale, or collard leaves
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • Salsa and/or guacamole to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the ghee in a stockpot or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the ground turkey, taco seasoning, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Cook until turkey is browned and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Serve the cilantro and hot sauce on the side, or stir them directly into the skillet.
  • Divide the taco filling among eight large leaf wrappers (lettuce, kale, or collards).
  • Add salsa and/or guacamole.
  • Roll up or fold up and enjoy.

Alternatively, serve the filling on a bed of greens as a taco salad.

Cooking Tip

You don’t need to add water or broth to the fat when you are cooking the meat for this meal.
