Taco Turkey
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced (or more if you're a garlic lover)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- kosher salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 lb lean ground turkey recommended: Jennie-O 93% lean with natural flavoring
- ½ cup salsa recommended: Trader Joe's chunky salsa
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or you could use rice vinegar or even balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon packed brown sugar I used light, but I don't think it would make a difference
Instructions
- Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat; add garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add ground turkey and cook, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon and scraping pan bottom, until turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. (You might need to turn up the heat to medium-high, especially if there is too much liquid in the pan.)
- Add salsa, broth, vinegar, and sugar; bring to simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently and breaking up meat so that no chunks remain, until liquid has reduced and thickened (mixture should not be completely dry), about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more brown sugar if needed to balance flavors.
