Notes
Don't overcook the turkey; cook it just until it's no longer pink. Use good quality taco seasoning. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients and seasonings. This skillet is perfect for meal prepping; you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Spice it up with hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Make it cheesy with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. Serve it over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option. Add more vegetables like carrots, celery, or sweet potatoes.
