Tuesday night was the only night of this week that we will be eating at home. We've been really way too busy and need to slow down but each night we had a great time where ever we are! So on Tuesday I decided that we needed to use up some ground turkey. I really wanted to make turkey burgers but wasn't in the mood to get my hands all slimy. I really needed to vacuum and start/finish my book club book which I wanted to do on my back deck while I threw the tennis ball a thousand times to George! I had a lot to accomplish that night. Needless to say, I sat outside for about 20 minutes and read with a nice glass of wine but it was buggy and my neighbor was staining his deck and Saly kept walking over it! So we moved inside. Dave was kayaking and wouldn't be home until 8:30 or so. I started making dinner and then tried to read while watching some stupid show on Tori Spelling. I got wrapped up in that and didn't end up reading too much. Productive!
Turkey Soft Tacos
1 lb. ground turkey
1 t evoo
1 small onion diced
3-4 garlic cloves minced
14 oz can tomatoes (I used sauce since this is what I had on hand)
1 t chili powder
1 1/2 t cumin
1 1/2 t coriander
1 t kosher salt
1/4 t red pepper flakes
1/4 water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
small soft tortillas
saute onion in medium skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes then add turkey and garlic. Season meat with salt, chili powder, cumin, coriander and brown. Add tomatoes turn heat down to low. Heat mixture until thickened and add just enough water to get to a good consistency. You may not need to water but I think that I let it reduce too much. Season with pepper flakes and add cheese. Heat until melted and serve with tortillas and avocado salsa.
Avocado Salsa
1 ripe avocado
10-15 cherry tomatoes halved
1 clove minced garlic
