Notes
If you are cooking with ground turkey, you will want to add in additional seasoning/onions to add flavor to your dish as turkey does not have a lot of flavor.
Add pico de gallo or salsa for additional flavors too.
Lime juice or cilantro is a fun twist for more flavor too.
Instead of regular taco shells, use soft taco sheels, corn tortilla chips or tostadas to elevate your tacos.
