The Best Turkey Taco Recipe

Our children are completely Taco obsessed! They love being able to pick their own toppings and ‘create’ their own meal, and we are A- Ok with it… since it means they will actually be incorporating vegetables into their dinner!

Over the past few months, we’ve been experimenting with our Taco recipes, and decided to mix it up by grilling our Turkey Breast instead of pan frying ground turkey! We even became extra ambitious and started making our salsas from scratch, like the Peach Salsa. We feel like it’s a game-changer and makes this the best turkey taco recipe!

Simple, delicious flavours that come together in a flash, for the whole family to enjoy!
