NSFW Turkey Tacos

The Non Blondes have been naughty.


Well....not really.  But we DID make delicious tacos via wardrobe malfunction, and there may be some steamy lemon/lime action ahead. Stay tuned for details.

For a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional, fat-laden beef tacos, you will need:

1lb ground turkey
1 large carrot, grated
1/2 cup scallions, chopped

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (we like it HOT! **)

1/4 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 salsa
Generous grating of salt and black pepper
Crunchy or soft taco shells, whatever you prefer (but everyone knows that crunchy is where it's at.)


** aaaaaand that is TOTALLY what she said


Step One, prep work: TNB-style

Gin and tonic. Don't forget the lemons and limes!

Speaking of lemons and limes.....me-oww!!

Brown Mummy: making citrus sexy since EVER

Begin by grating down your cleaned and peeled carrot into pretty orange confetti,

Bowl of excitement

and stir-fry over medium-high heat with the scallions, until carrots are slightly tender.

Add your ground turkey. Which, by the by, is a wonderful alternative to fatty, greasy beef. Almost no fat comes off of it, and you can't even taste the difference once incorporated with the other ingredients. Awesome way to still make the dishes you crave, minus the greasy guilt!

At this point, Red Mummy's jeans decide that she can take this job and shove it, they ain't workin' here no mo'.

RIP (no pun intended) that ONE pair of super comfy jeans that fits perfectly :(
Also, we warned you about the graphic nature of this blog post!

A quick wardrobe change later, and your turkey should be cooked through and ready to add the salsa,

and the spice mixture.

Pretty colors

Right about now, one of your cats will commence biological warfare via the litter tray, prompting much gagging and sputtering.

The perp, looking very guilty while trying to hide behind an ADORABLE.

This brings us to TNB Tip #4: Homemade Incense. It will smell like all your hopes and dreams come true, a child's laughter, kitten kisses and a favourite pair of jeans... wait, awwwwwww :'|

Anyhoo....back to tacos.

Your mixture is basically done once the spices are combined. Heat up your soft or crunchy taco shells at 350 degrees.

On the left, boxed shells. On the right, homemade corn tortilla cups, made by baking fresh corn tortillas in a muffin pan in a 350 degree oven. Super easy! 

Fill your taco shells with the turkey mixture, and whatever taco toppings you like. We used more salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream, and scallions.  Enjoy!
