Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds lean ground turkey

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.
- 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.
