Seasoned Ground Turkey

Seasoned Ground Turkey is a spiced poultry dish cooked with chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic, and onion powders simmered in chicken stock. The ground turkey browns first, then is coated in a flavorful sauce that thickens as it simmers. This versatile cooked meat can be used as a base for tacos or other recipes requiring seasoned ground meat. Its mildly spicy seasoning lifts the lean turkey without overwhelming its natural flavor.
