Ingredients
500 grams ground turkey (minced turkey) - lean
1 medium red onion - chopped
2 cups tomatoes - chopped, juice drained and kept aside
½ teaspoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon cumin
4 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly crushed
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
- Mildly heat the olive oil, add garlic and onion.
- Once you get the aromas, add the spices–chilli, oregano, cumin and pepper.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and stir lightly.
- Finally, add the ground turkey, stir and cover, so the steam gives the meat moisture.
- After 5 to 7 minutes, add salt and taste. If the turkey is dry, you can add a few teaspoons of tomato juice at a time until you are happy with the moisture.
- Slather onto taco shells, and add avocado for a bit of indulgence.
