Ground Chicken or Turkey Tacos

This recipe is great!  It's healthy and versatile. You can follow the recipe or add any other veggies you like to it!

I found this one in Taste of Home magazine a few years ago.  I couldn't find the recipe online, so here it is!

Prep time: 20 Minutes
Cook time: 20 Minutes
Makes about 8 soft tacos

Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken or turkey breast
1 cup diced onions
3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
1 cup seeded and diced tomatoes
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray.  Add chicken, onions, green pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until chicken is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.  Drain off any liquid.

Ad tomatoes, carrot, ketchup, chili powder, vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, and pepper to chicken.  Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  If mixture is too saucy, simmer ncovered for a few more minutes until most of the liquid is evaporated.

Once you've made the meat your adventure is only just beginning! You can make a traditional taco or try one of these options:

1. Mix up some cornbread batter, but cook it in a waffle iron. Top your "cornbread waffle" with meat and your favorite toppings.  You could try cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, salsa, taco sauce, or Tabasco, just to name a few!

2. Cut zucchini in half length-wise and hollow out seeds. Place meat in hollowed out zucchini. Top with cheese and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

3. Try this recipe for Indian fry bread. Top with meat and favorite toppings.

4. Taco salad!
5. Stuffed poblano peppers: Cut of the top of the peppers, remove the seeds, fill with taco meat, top with cheese, and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°.
