Turkey Tacos!

Diner Tonight: Turkey Tacos

We have a beautiful Summers Day out there today! Sunny, in the low 80's, and no humidity. After Breakfast and my morning workout I got some things done in the house and it was outside for the better part of the day! Got the cart out, it's a 4 wheel mobility cart that I can go around the outside of house and yard. After a little yard cleaning I rode down to the community lake and around the neighborhood. So for dinner tonight it's Turkey Tacos, and a story behind this!





I had already planned on having Turkey Tacos and BAM, a Fedex truck pulls up with a delivery. Jennie -O must have read my mind, they sent me a 1 lb. package of Jennie O Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey and a 1 lb. package of Jennie - O Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey, which is great to make your own Spaghetti Meat Sauce with! I belong to the Jennie - O Switch Club, a club for bloggers, and from time to time Jennie -O sends me various Jennie O Turkey products, coupons, and recipes. So a big thank you to Jennie - O!




I wanted to keep it light, healthy, and delicious so it's Turkey Tacos. And as always when

making Turkey Tacos I always use Jennie -O Ground Turkey Breast but since Jennie - O sent me the Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey I'll be using it instead. ! Love all the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. I started by frying the Ground Turkey till it was no longer pink, about 17 minutes, in Canola Oil and seasoning it with just adding some light Sea Salt and Cilantro Flakes. With the Turkey already Taco Seasoned there's no need for a lot of seasoning or Taco Seasoning. Love using the already seasoned Turkey!




Then for toppings I used; Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican, Sliced Black Olives, Sliced
Green Olives, Old El Paso Taco Sauce, and Shredded Lettuce. For my Taco Shells I used the Old El Paso Stand N’ Stuff Taco Shells (Whole Grain Corn). Add the Jennie – O Turkey and you got you some mouth watering and delicious Tacos! Love these Taco Nights. I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans for a side. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Greek Yogurt.

Turkey Tacos!

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Tacos

Another picture perfect day out again, 75 degrees and sunny! Went fishing at a local County Park Lake for most of the morning and afternoon. Caught a few Crappie and Blue Gill along with a 2 lb. Bass. Didn't keep any, returned them to the lake. Had the cart out for a while also, just too nice to stay in. For dinner tonight its Turkey Tacos.








As I had said in an earlier post I'll be using my free samples from Jennie - O. I received a 1 lb. package of Jennie - O Lean Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey, a package of Wholly Guacamole, 1 - 7 oz. can of  HERDEZ® Salsas. I tasted the Herdez Salsas and just wasn't a big fan of it so I won't be using that. First time I've tried any of these, so thanks again to Jennie - O for the free samples!








I'll be using the Jennie - O Lean Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey. I Love the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb and this one is no exception. I started by frying the Ground Turkey in Canola Oil and seasoned it with just a bit of Morton's Salt Substitute. I've been making Tacos for a long time, so it feels like I'm forgetting a step by not adding Taco Seasoning to the Turkey as it's cooking. But it comes Seasoned, and judging by the aroma as it was cooking it was going to be delicious. And it was! I'll have to the Jennie - O Lean Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey around when making Tacos! 5 Stars for the  Jennie - O Lean Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey.









For my other toppings I’ll be using; Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Green Olives, Wholly  Guacamole, Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Shredded Reduced Fat Cheese, and Shredded Lettuce. All served in a Ortega Whole Grain Corn Taco Shell. Did I say I love Tacos, I do! As for the Wholly Guacamole, they named it right! Wholly Guacamole is exactly that. Creamy, Chunks of Avocados, and full of Creamy Flavor. For dessert later a bowl of Breyer's Carb Smart Chocolate Ice Cream.

HERDEZ® Salsas Casera

Herdez Hot, spicy, chunky red Mexican salsa with tomatoes, chiles, onions, garlic and cilantro. Homestyle - Casera style. Mexico's #1 Salsa.


No single element of Mexican food is as revered as salsa. Salsa is a great addition to tacos, eggs, potatoes and nearly everything in between. HERDEZ® Salsa uses the finest fresh ingredients, including robust tomatoes, handpicked serrano peppers and fresh cilantro, to create the most authentic salsa available.

To add great Mexican flavor to anything, the line of HERDEZ® Salsa Casera (homemade salsa) in mild, medium or hot, Salsa Verde (green salsa) or Salsa Ranchera (a spicy blend of salsa and dried chiles) will take your taste buds south of the border with little extra effort.
