Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients

For the Turkey:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tacos:

  • 8 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg)
  • 1 medium avocado sliced
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 small tomato diced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season the Turkey: Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the cooked turkey. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare the Toppings: While the turkey is cooking, prep your toppings. Slice the avocado, shred the cheese, dice the tomato, and chop the cilantro.
  • Assemble the Tacos: Lay out the lettuce leaves on a flat surface. Spoon an even amount of the seasoned turkey into each lettuce leaf.
  • Add the Toppings: Top the turkey with avocado slices, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and diced tomatoes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  • Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
