Easy Turkey Taco Bowls
A fun and customizable family dinner that makes taco night super easy.
recipesbynani.comTurkey taco bowls are a lifesaver on busy weeknights because they are quick to put together and everyone gets to choose their own toppings. It is a fantastic way to make sure even the pickiest eaters leave the table happy since they build their own meal.
My family loves this recipe because it feels like a treat without the heavy mess of traditional tacos. If you have any extra vegetables in the fridge, feel free to toss them into the skillet for a little extra nutrition.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning
