This is a great dinner that anyone who loves taco will enjoy!
Serves 4

1 pound lean ground turkey
1 package small corn tortillas (they have less cal then flour)
1 package taco seasoning (seasoning also has some calories )
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
Salsa
Fat Free / light sour cream

Brown the turkey in a skillet.
Once its mostly brown, add the veggies to saute.
Drain Fat from meat
Add taco seasoning with a little water to mix
Top tortillas with taco meat.
Add salsa and sour cream if desired.

One serving is 2 taco shells, 4 oz of meat, 2 tbsp salsa and 2 tbsp sour cream. 393 Calories! :)

    Sounds great! It's more healthy than ground beef but sounds just as tasty...I'll have to try this later in the week. Thanks!

    I make my own taco seasoning too. Very simple and less fat, sodium and preservatives then pre made store bought.

    equal parts of- depends on how spicy you want it
    oregano (Mexican oregano works better and is cheaper)
    cumin
    paprika
    chili powder

    2 tbs crushed garlic
    sea salt to taste.

    brown meat, when almost brown ,drain and add spices with some water to pan.

    Sounds good... can be even better

    Use a whole wheat tortillas instead of corn tortillas
    Use plain greek yogurt in place of sourcream

    Sounds super yummy though!
