Notes

  • If you prefer your tacos spicier, add in a little cayenne pepper for a kick of heat.
  • I prefer to make the taco seasoning, but you can use a store-bought seasoning if you prefer.
  • The filling is freezer friendly. Let it cool fully before storing in a freezer-safe container, Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Storage: Store the turkey filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
