One of my favorite very flavorful taco recipe’s is this one Thai Turkey Tacos, its a delight to the senses. So many different Asian flavors combined its amazing and so easy to make.  Seriously the hardest part is grating the ginger.  But I highly recommend using fresh ginger.  Even if you have never cooked or think you won’t like the flavor please (pretty please) try it.  The fresh ginger makes the dish.  I also love this recipe because its so fast!  Literally takes maybe 15 minutes tops, absolute tops.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey, 1 bag coleslaw mix, 1 onion, 2 limes, 2 T grated ginger, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tsp sesame oil, 6 T soy sauce, 4 T honey, 1 tsp crushed red pepper, 1 T cumin , 1 pk flour tortillas

  1. I made these tonight and we loved them. They were so good. Thanks for a great recipe. I am going to post about them tomorrow.

  2. Thanks for posting this recipe again today! We do turkey tacos a lot, but they get boring. I love this creative way to spice it up! Thanks!

  3. I made this tonight and with one addition it was amazing.
    You really need to add some sweet and spicy chili sauce on top.
    Took this from a good to wonderful!

    With 7 servings the meat mix is only 5 weight watcher points+
    Add 2 points for 3 Tbsps of the chili sauce.
    Serve on lettuce and you have a very low point meal!

  4. Since finding this page 3 years ago, we have enjoyed this dish frequently. It’s really yummy. Thank you!
