TURKEY TACOS PICADILLO



Turkey Tacos Picadillo image

Picadillo, a Latin American classic, is typically made with beef, but juicy turkey stands in well here. Scented with cumin and chili powder, the filling for these crunchy tacos is sweet and savory.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped canned tomatoes
3/4 pound ground turkey
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Oil, for frying
12 (5-inch) corn tortillas, preferably white, or prepared taco shells
1/4 head romaine or iceberg, thinly sliced
3 ripe medium tomatoes, cored and diced
1 to 2 Hass avocados, diced
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno, and spices in a medium skillet, season with salt and cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until tender, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes and boil to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and chicken broth, adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and cook until the turkey is cooked through and the mixture thickens but is not dry, about 12 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover.
  • To make the taco shells: Pour enough frying oil into a small skillet so it's about 3/4 of an inch deep; heat over medium to medium-high. Holding 1 edge of a tortilla with tongs, lay the other half in the oil, keeping it flat with a spatula. Cook until crisp, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the tortilla over and repeat with the other half, holding the first side of the tortilla at an angle to make an open shell, cook for about 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Put the fixings and meat in individual bowls and the taco shells on a platter. Serve, encouraging your diners to build their own tacos, with meat in the shell and the fixings on top.

TURKEY PITAS WITH CUCUMBERS, CHICKPEAS AND TAHINI



Turkey Pitas With Cucumbers, Chickpeas and Tahini image

These vibrant, crunchy, creamy turkey sandwiches have all the flavors of falafel, but without the frying. They've got a lemony tahini dressing, soft chickpeas, and a cumin-scented tomato and cucumber salad, all packed into pitas with leftover turkey (use dark or white meat). The pickled red onions give these a wonderful brightness, and they're well worth the 10 extra minutes they take to make.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, sandwiches, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of granulated sugar
1/4 cup tahini
1 fat garlic clove, grated
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup mint leaves and tender stems

TURKEY TACOS



Turkey Tacos image

Thinly sliced turkey, well-seasoned and pan-seared, makes an excellent quick taco filling. These actually bear more resemblance to authentic Mexican food than all those crisp ground beef-filled tacos. This recipe can be assembled quickly from things that are easy to keep in the house, but can be adapted to include leftovers in your refrigerator. If you have only pink beans, use them instead; add tomato slices, if you have them, or other pickled vegetables instead of the shallots.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound turkey scallops
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 corn tortillas
1 cup refried black beans
1/4 cup red salsa
1/4 cup pickled shallots
1 avocado, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine turkey scallops in a mixing bowl with oil, salt and pepper. Heat the grill or dry cast-iron pan over high heat until smoking. Sear the turkey slices about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Chop into 1/2 inch strips and reserve in a bowl with the juices from the board.
  • To make tacos, toast the tortillas. For each serving, stack 2 tortillas and spread with a layer of black beans. Top with seared turkey strips, a tablespoon each of salsa and pickled shallots, and avocado slices. Roll and serve hot.
