Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Crispy Baked Ground Turkey Tacos:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Brown Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Season: Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
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.
