Ingredients
1.25
pounds
lean ground turkey
1/2
cup
tomato sauce
2
tablespoons
taco seasoning
(1 packet)
10
crispy taco shells
(or more depending on size)
1
cup
shredded cheddar cheese
or Mexican blend
Toppings (optional)
shredded lettuce
pico de gallo
corn salsa
sour cream
guacamole
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375˚F.
In a large skillet brown the ground turkey until cooked through (165˚F.) Drain any excess fat.
Mix the tomato sauce and taco seasoning into the meat and let it simmer until thickened.
Stand the taco shells upright tightly in a 9x13 baking dish. Fill each shell with taco meat and top with cheese.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the shells are crispy.
Remove the tacos and stuff with preferred toppings, or allow each person to top their tacos in any way they like!
Notes
Number of tacos may vary depending on the size of the taco shells you use. I have fit from 10-16 tacos in a 9x13 baking dish depending on brand.
Scaling the recipe:
To make less tacos, use the same method, but place shells in an 8x8 baking dish.
To make more tacos, use 2 9x13 baking dishes, or 1 half sheet pan.
