For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the turkey mixture before filling the tacos. If you prefer a spicier taco, use a hotter salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the turkey mixture. Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as sour cream, pickled onions, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Turkey Base: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil. Add the ground turkey and diced onion. Sauté, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until the turkey is browned and the onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and discard.
02
StepInfuse the Flavor: Stir in the chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder into the turkey-onion mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. Add the drained salsa, diced green chile peppers, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together beautifully, about 7 to 10 minutes.
03
StepAssemble and Enjoy: Warm the taco shells according to package directions. Fill each taco shell with the seasoned turkey mixture. Top with sliced avocado, shredded cheese, lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve immediately.
