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.
