Made this for dinner tonight and it was SO easy and SO yummy! It was a tad too salty for us, so next time we will definitely reduce the salt. But it was such a great recipe! It will definitely be a part of our dinner rotation now. Thank you so much for sharing!

It's a keeper. Both my husband and my preteen son loved it. 
I did not have all of the spices (chili, chipotle powder) and I used 1/2 tsp each of cumin and coriander. And I will use little less salt next time. Very tasty.

Thank you for this. I have Alpha Gal (mammalian meat allergy) and miss chorizo terribly! Trader Joe’s Soyrizo is okay but this is much better!

This was awesome!  Delicious, easy, and without the guilt of feeling I’ve just clogged my arteries with grease😉.... Thank you for the recipe;)!  
I added Portobella mushrooms and onions for a little variety and stuffed some street tacos and sprinkled with Cremoso... deliciousness!

Fabulous recipe! I can't believe I just made this and it was so good! I am an amateur at cooking. I buy a lot more pre-packaged stuff but this one is going in my little recipe box!! I love it.

Thanks for a healthy, homemade alternative to standard chorizo!

Always enjoy all your recipes that I make. 
This one is especially a family favourite.

Thanks again for another delicious recipe.  I  made the chorizo with ground chicken and we ate it for breakfast huevos rancheros style.  It was so yummy and easy to make!  Now I can make my own healthier version of chorizo thanks to you!!!

This is a absolutely amazing recipe!!! I don’t eat sausage anymore and this was a treasure to find! Thank you!

I used this recipe and it came out awesome. I actually doubled the ingredients excluding the doubling amount of salt.

Excellent with lean ground turkey. Love the spice ratio and amount. Next time I will double it as I'm sure the browned meat will freeze well.

Healthy homemade turkey chorizo is an easy way to spice up your ground turkey for a flavorful meal prep.  Eat this turkey chorizo in tacos, burrito bowls, or served with fresh eggs for a delicious and spicy meal.
