Healthy Eating Nutrition Recipes By Stephen Ralph / September 25, 2015 Share 0 Tweet TURKEY SOFT TACOS HEALTHY APPLE CRUMBLE Tacos are a dish that you may have said so-long to after moving onto a healthy eating plan. This doesn’t have to be the case, however. As long as you make a few smart substitutions, you can definitely include this in your regular meal plan.This soft taco recipe uses ground turkey breast rather than ground beef to keep the total fat content lower, giving you a great source of lean protein that will help you recover after any workout sessions you may have done.The addition of lower fat cheese will further increase your protein intake while adding some bone-boosting calcium to this dish. Be sure to load up your taco with fresh salsa, which will also bring plenty of antioxidants into the picture.Turkey Soft Tacos INGREDIENTS 1 lb. of ground turkey breast½ package of Mrs. Dash taco seasoning1 medium sized onion3 cloves of garlic1 tablespoon of olive oil8 small corn tortillas (or small whole wheat tortillas if preferred)1 cup of shredded low fat cheddar cheese½ cup salsa ½ head of ice berg lettuce½ cup low fat Greek yogurt (if desired) COOKING DIRECTIONS Begin by heating up a skillet over medium to high heat.Next, place the garlic and onions with olive oil in the pan and sauté until the onions are lightly golden.Add the turkey breast meat along with taco seasoning and then continually stir until turkey browns.As this is cooking, chop the lettuce and warm up the corn tortillas in the oven (if desired).Once turkey is finished, spoon into the middle of the soft taco and then place on top Greek yogurt, salsa, lettuce, and cheese.
