Don't let the turkey scare you away. It cooks up just like ground beef and tastes great! My friend from work that suggested them, his wife doesn't eat red meat, so this is a great alternative. I'd never used ground turkey before, but I really liked it and may start throwing it some of my other dishes.This was a nice toss up to the traditional taco seasoning taco. It was a little sweet but still a lot of good flavor. I didn't add the dried cranberries, I was going to, but it was the last thing on my list and they weren't where I thought they were at the store and my kids were done with the shopping thing. Maybe next time. If you like that sort of thing, I'm sure it would add another level of flavor, and good color.
Turkey Tacos:
1 lb ground turkey
1 pkg taco seasoning
3/4 c water
3/4 c green onions
1 T sugar
1 T apple cider vinegar
1/2 c dried cranberries
4 tsp chopped cilantro
Cook turkey until browned. Drain off fat. Stir in all the other ingredients except cilantro and cranberries. Cover and cook over med-low heat, simmering for two minutes. Uncover and stir in cilantro and cranberries. Simmer five more minutes. Serve on a tortillas with sour cream, cheese, guacomole, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.

We sometimes find Turkey on sale, but Mike doesn't love the flavor, so I just mix it half and half with ground beef in whatever recipe I am making and he doesn't even know.
