Ground Turkey Tacos

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste optional

Salt & pepper to taste

For serving: flour or corn tortillas

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350F (for warming tortillas), stack tortillas and wrap them in foil and place in oven. Or use a tortilla warmer or warm the tortillas over a gas stove burner if you have one. You can prep the toppings beforehand or while the meat is cooking.
2. Add the olive oil to a skillet along with the ground turkey and the spices. Cook, over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as you go along, for about 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. When the meat is close to being done, stir in the tomato paste if using (I mostly add it for color, and I sometimes leave it out since I add a lot of toppings to my tacos for flavor/moisture anyway). Season with salt & pepper as needed.
3. Top the tacos as desired and enjoy immediately.

This recipe makes about 2-3 tacos/person (if you add plenty of toppings). I recommend doubling the recipe if you're feeding very hungry folks.
