This recipe has fewer calories because of the ground turkey and amazing flavor! It is a little spicy, but our family enjoys it this way. Because it has so much flavor, you cannot even tell it's not ground beef. It tastes great as a topping on baked potatoes as well as tacos. Enjoy!

Ground Turkey Taco Meat

chili powder

cumin

paprika

salt

garlic powder

onion powder

oregano

cayenne pepper

turkey

water

cider vinegar

brown sugar

Mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cayenne together in a small bowl.


Cook turkey in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring to break up clumps, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder mixture and water. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.


Stir cider vinegar and brown sugar into the skillet. Simmer until flavors combine, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.


The BEST taco seasoned meat recipe that I have come across.   I have even made a batch where I added the juice of a half a lime...and that was a fantastic taste experience.  I also used only 1/4 tsp salt and omitted the onion powder and added shallots (only because of personal sensitivity to onions).  Try it , if you haven't!  This recipe also makes an excellent base for chili.

Delicious! The brown sugar adds a nice dimension to flavor. I added a tbsp of cornstarch to help thicken the mixture. Throw out those sodium-laden premixed versions you buy at the store and try this. You'll get hooked on the taste and you'll be surprised at how easy it is. Thank you for the recipe.

I already had cooked ground turkey in the freezer, so just added the spices and water and simmered as directed.  The brown sugar & vinegar added a subtle flavor that I really liked!  I used the meat to make a salad of leaf lettuce, grape tomatoes, chick peas, avocado, cheddar cheese, cilantro & ranch dressing.  Have saved this recipe to make again!

Good weeknight dinner. Instead of water, I added beer.

I didnt have any apple cider vinegar and so left that and the brown sugar out. I was very surprised how good it turned out. Also, I had a 40oz package of ground turkey and it was perfect. Not bland at all despite a much larger quantity of meat. Like they said, I could not tell I was eating turkey. It also didnt have the greasy taste that ground beef has. I made burritos and garnished it with chopped onion, cilantro, green salsa, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Definitely gonna save this recipe!  I recommend it.

I try to follow these recipes as they are,  otherwise how can you give an accurate review when you change half the recipe.  I thought this was delicious exactly as it is and will definitely be making this again. I brought leftovers to work for lunch but didn't get to it until 2 days later but it was just as good as when it was first made.

Phenomenal!!! I followed it exactly with no adjustments. I do serve fresh lime on the table and encourage my guests to use a few however! I prefer this to ANY ground beef dish! Turkey Tostadas are a new favorite with this recipe. Thanks!!??

This was quite good. I usually hate the taste of turkey especially turkey burgers but this had good flavor. I thought the amount of apple cider vinegar listed would be too much but that wasn't the case. The only thing I changed was that I added capers which actually elevated the dish. I also think a little tomato paste would make it taste even better.

Pretty good recipe except next time I make it I think I will cut down on the salt. Other than that I liked the overall flavor. Not your typical taco meat but still good.
