Turkey.Tacos.

So I have to give credit to Abby.Egan for this idea. After grilling out at her amazing house for "The Fence Party" [they had just installed a new fence] I saw a package of Jennie-O Italian Ground Turkey and she mentioned the original plan pre-grill out was to make turkey tacos.


So with that inspiration the next day I went home and made this:

1/2 package of ground turkey [I used the kind pictured and I know it says italian and this dish feels mexican but it works --- swear]
1 lime
Leftover Black.Bean.Salad.
Serving: ~4x

In a skillet over medium/high heat warm a drizzle of olive oil. Add ground turkey...pulling into little chunks as you drop it in vs. just dropping the whole strip in. Push around with a wooden spoon until browned...cover to heat all the way through...stirring every minute or so.

Trick from Abby...halfway through, dump out the "juice" in the sink to get rid of some of the fat...then continue cooking.

Once browned, add Black.Bean.Salad. Basically an even salad to turkey ratio. Heat until warmed. Squeeze lime over.


[Options: You can totally throw this into some wheat tortillas and serve taco style topped with lettuce and diced tomato and avocado. Or you can just eat it as is...which is so good.]
