Easy Healthy Turkey Chorizo
Description
This recipe starts by cooking lean ground turkey in a cast iron skillet sprayed with olive oil, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns. Seasonings such as smoky paprika, ancho chili powder, cayenne pepper, ground cloves, oregano, and freshly minced garlic are added with red wine vinegar to build a complex, spicy, and aromatic profile reminiscent of traditional chorizo but lighter with turkey.
The turkey cooks until fully browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes, ensuring a savory texture with well-distributed flavors. Because of the versatility of this seasoned ground turkey, it pairs well with eggs for breakfast or as a filling for tacos and burritos, providing a flexible option for various meals.
