Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 1 pound lean (93%) ground turkey
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 recipe (¼ cup) homemade taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey. As the turkey cooks, break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. I prefer some larger chunks for taco meat, but feel free to break up the meat to suit your preference.
- Once the turkey is cooked, add the garlic, taco seasoning and tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Turn down the heat so that the mixture is simmering. Simmer until most, but not all of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to minutes. Serve.
