Ground Turkey Tacos

 For the taco seasoning:

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or other hot pepper
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch 
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Whisk together in a small bowl

For the tacos:

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through but still slightly pink, about 2 minutes.

Stir in tomato sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Can add pineapple for Al Pastor-flavored tacos.
