Leah Lunch: Turkey Tacos

These tacos are packed with protein and fiber!

Makes 4 large tacos or 5 regular sized tacos

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound Lean ground turkey (90% lean or greater)
    • Tip: To cut the fat down try using lean ground chicken.
  • 1/4 cup taco seasoning or 1 packet reduced sodium taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • Low calorie tortillas (look at "my grocery list" for examples, nutrient analysis uses 50 calorie tortillas)
  • small (6 ounce) container of Non fat plain yogurt (use about 2 tablespoons per person)
  • 1/3 cup (or more) onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup (or more) tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup or less of 2% milk cheese per person
  • 1 jar salsa (a serving is 2 tablespoons per person and only around 5 calories per serving)
  • 1 package iceburg lettuce, shredded

Directions:
  1. In a non stick skillet, cook the turkey completely, chopping with spatula as it cooks.
  2. Add water and seasoning to turkey.
  3. Fill one low calorie wrap with no more than 3-4 ounces of meat. Fill wrap with other ingredients (if you are watching your weight and don't want to count calories just be sure that you do not exceed 1 serving for each of the other ingredients, you will find the serving sizes at the top of the food labels).  
  4. Feel free to add as many veggies such as tomatoes, lettuce, and onions to your taco as you wish.
