Turkey Street Tacos #TurkeyTuesday

October 18, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to toot my own horn; toot, toot!  I made, I kid you not, the best tacos ever!  I took the classic taco recipe and made a few changes that takes classic tacos up another level.  This my friend is restaurant quality tacos!  I am so overly impressed I can’t even believe it.  I normally will eat two tacos and today I ate 3 and really debated about 4!  I did use a little self-control, but not much.  I am just so excited to share this recipe for you.  Now you can make gourmet tacos at home that will impress the taco lovers in your life!  Today I have for you Turkey Street Tacos.

Turkey Street Tacos #TurkeyTuesday

Sigh… Just looking at the pictures above.  The tacos are all gone, every last one got eaten.  That saddens me.  However, now I can make them at home all the time.  In less than 30 minutes you can have blow your mind tacos that not only tastes good, but are good for you too!  Talk about guilt-free.  The flavor of the tacos are just so darn delicious.  They have a kick of heat from chipotle but is cooled by Mexican Crema, which is a sour cream and lime mixture.  I topped the tacos with iceberg lettuce for crunch and after-all this is California, I had to include avocado.  Plus the star of the show, Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey.  Wait till I show you how I made this yummy dinner.

Turkey Street Tacos #TurkeyTuesday


The first thing I did was make my own taco seasoning.  I used chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder,  crushed red pepper flakes,  dried oregano, paprika,  ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.  It is so easy and has so much more flavor than store-bought seasoning, but feel free to use your favorite taco seasoning.

For the meat I used Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey.  I love Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey because it nutritious and lean source of protein with only 160 calorie per 4 oz.  Plus my favorite part is that it does not contain any antibiotics and the turkeys are raised free-range on organic land and is only fed an organic vegetarian diet.  Plus 100% natural with no hormones or steroids.  To boot, I love to support local businesses and Foster Farms is located in California’s Central Valley.  All the good things that is California.  Here is my cooked Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey.  You can see the homemade seasoning in my turkey meat.

To give my Turkey Street Tacos the extra love, I took the basic condiments and jazzed them up.  The first thing I did was make the Chipotle Pico de Gallo.  This is a simple combination of tomatoes, red onion, red wine vinegar, chipotle in adobo sauce and cilantro.  This topping has just the right amount of heat that you do not need to add hot sauce to the tacos.  Plus I used tomatoes from my garden.  Can you believe they are still growing?  I’ll need to pull it out soon.

I also made a simple Mexican Crema, which is a light sour cream that is mixed with lime zest, lime juice and just a pinch of salt.  It is so good I could just eat it with a spoon.  I put it in a baggie so I can drizzle it over my tacos.  The Mexican Crema and Chipotle Pico de Gallo can be made in advance and will last up to 2 days.

To give it the Street Taco feel I also charred my flour tortillas.  I simply placed them on the burner of my stove and heated them over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side.  You could also grill them, but this is so much quicker.  Just please be careful if you do it over the stove top.  The tortillas burn quickly and could start a fire if you are not careful.

I also served my Turkey Street Tacos with a few toppings.  I added Iceberg Lettuce for crunch, Cotija Cheese which is robust Mexican Cheese that crumbles perfectly on tacos, plus an avocado.  I love sliced avocados on tacos, it gives it a nice rich, creamy taste.  I served freshly sliced jalapenos with it, but I actually didn’t feel the need to use them.  I know, crazy, me missing out on peppers.  But truly less is more with these tasty tacos.

Turkey Street Tacos #TurkeyTuesday

This is such a great meal and is truly part of my California lifestyle.  It is filling, made with natural and authentic ingredients and makes me happy when I eat it.  I love that I used Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey, because it is low-fat, low-calorie and is amazing made as taco meat.  When I think California food, I think Mexican, tacos and avocados.  To me that is California cuisine and so is today’s recipe.  My Husband who does not have the same taste in food as me, said he loved the tacos.  I asked the magic question, would you eat these again?  He said Yup!  Score!  I got another one that will be saved in the recipe box for the family to enjoy.

Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Tacos
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 tacos
Ingredients
  • Taco Seasoning:
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder I Used Chipotle Chili Powder)
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp. dried oregano
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • 1½ tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper

  • Tacos:
  • 16 oz Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey
  • ¼ cup water
  • 8 soft shell flour tortillas (I used 6")

  • Chipotle Pico de Gallo:
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced small, seeded
  • 4 tsp. red onion, minced
  • ½ tsp. red wine vinegar
  • ½ canned chipotle pepper, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tbsp. cilantro, cut into thin strips

  • Mexican Crema:
  • ½ cup light sour cream
  • ½ tsp. finely grated lime zest
  • 2 tsp. lime juice
  • 1 dash of salt

  • Toppings:
  • 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded small
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup Cojita Cheese
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced (optional)
Instructions
  1. To Make Taco Seasoning - In a small bowl; add all of the herbs and spices; mix until combined (or you can use 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning); set aside.
  2. Taco Meat - In a large skillet, add Foster Farms Organic Ground Turkey. Over medium heat, cook turkey until no longer pink; stirring constantly. Add taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Cook until water is evaporated; stirring constantly. Take turkey meat off the burner; set aside.
  3. Place flour tortillas over medium heat on top of burner of the stove. With tongs, flip the tortillas after about 15 seconds. You just want to get a light char on the tortilla shells. You can also place on grill to lightly char the tortillas. Just be careful and don't walk away from the tortillas, they burn fast.
  4. To make Chipotle Pico de Gallo - in a bowl, add tomatoes, red onion, red wine vinegar, and chipotle pepper; mix until well combined. Taste test and add a pinch of salt. Mix in cilantro; set aside.
  5. To make Mexican Crema - In a bowl, add sour cream, lime zest, lime juice and salt; mix until well combined; set aside.
  6. Put tacos together - Evenly divide turkey meat between tortillas; top with Chipotle Pico de Gallo, iceberg lettuce, avocado, cojita cheese and top with Mexican Crema.
Notes
You can skip making your own taco seasoning and just use store bought. You can also use corn tortillas if you like that better than flour. The Crema and Chipotle Pico de Gallo will last up to 2 days in the refrigerator. I made them in advance.

Turkey Street Tacos #TurkeyTuesday

This was just a fun recipe for me.  I can’t get over how changing up a few simple ingredients really added so much more flavor to tacos.  This will truly be my new go to recipe.  Honestly, I wasn’t sure about ground turkey?  I have only used it a few times and never in tacos.  Tacos are one of my go-to easy recipes that I make all of the time and switching it to ground turkey, I wasn’t sure.  But today, I am a believer!  I will now always use ground turkey in place of beef.  I am so happy with the taste, flavor and texture of the turkey.  I am sold and so is my family.  I am a happy girl!

Turkey Street Tacos #TurkeyTuesday

So why do I call these Street Turkey Tacos?  In California there are a ton of food trucks and when you order tacos they look like these (but shhhhh mine taste better).  They have simple ingredients, something you can eat with your hands and is loaded with flavor.  To me, today’s Turkey Tacos are Street Tacos to me, but only better.

Enjoy and Happy #TurkeyTuesday!

Toodles,

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!

Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great Hello! Happy October! Hope you are having a great start to the month. I received the cutest fragrance package from @myclaireburke. I couldn’t wait to add these wonderful fragrances to my home.
🍎
The scent I received is Apple Jack & Peel. It’s fresh apples with cinnamon and a hint of citrus. It smells like fall. Reminds me of when we go to Apple Hill to go apple picking, which we will be doing next week.
🍎
The scent is warm and cozy and the candle and potpourri is so pretty. Not only do these look so pretty in my home, but they would make such a wonderful housewarming gift. I wish you could smell them.
🍎
If you are looking for Fall and Winter scented fragrances. I highly recommend checking out @myclaireburke
🍎
Have a great day!
