Instructions

Follow these straightforward steps to create your Crispy Baked Ground Turkey Tacos:

6. Fill Taco Shells: Carefully fill each taco shell with the turkey mixture. Place them in a baking dish.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the filled taco shells.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Prepare Toppings: While the tacos are baking, prepare your toppings: shred lettuce, dice tomatoes, and set out sour cream and salsa.
10. Serve: Remove the tacos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with your choice of toppings.
