Mmmmm!! Who doesn’t enjoy a taco night?! And, why buy store bought flavorings when you can make it so much better right in your own kitchen This recipe was inspired by the “Fixate” cookbook by Autumn Calabrese. I must say it was a definite two thumbs up with the hubby. So much robust flavor, nutritious and made with real food ingredients.

 

 

SERVES: 4

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp olive oil

1 onion, medium

2 jalapeno peppers, medium, seeded and finely chopped

2 garlic cloves

1lb lean ground turkey

1 tsp chipolte chili powder, ground

1/2 tsp Asian chili garlic sauce

1 tsp oregano leaves

sea salt, dash

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce, homemade or favorite jar style

3 tbsp tomato paste

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a large skillet, heat oil on medium heat.

Add the onion and jalapenos and let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until translucent and fragrant.

Add the garlic; let cook for a minute or two while stirring frequently to not burn. Transfer the onion mixture to a medium bowl; set aside.

Add the turkey to the same skillet and let cook, over medium heat. Break up the turkey while stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes, or until no longer pink.

Add the onion mixture, your tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low; gently boil, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates.

Enjoy! You may replace the hard taco shell with soft corn wraps or lettuce to reduce carbohydrate intake.
