One of the best Turkey Picadillo Soft Taco filling you will ever have! So much flavor that you will want to eat more tacos than you should!
Tacos make a regular appearance in my house. Egg Tacos for Breakfast. Chicken Street Tacos for lunch or Carnitas Tacos for dinner. Maybe it’s living in Southern California that has that effect on us but we could eat tacos every day if we could. But these Turkey Picadillo Soft Tacos are Da Bomb!
I’ve had dozen of different kinds of tacos over the years. Whether it’s chicken, pork, beef or turkey, been there done that. But these Turkey Picadillo Soft Tacos are probably one of the most unique tacos I’ve ever eaten.
Potatoes, apple, raisins, green chilies, cinnamon, yeah, this is one unique taco filling. It’s very similar but different than Ofelia’s Cuban Picadillo. While they share the same name and both equally delicious, they are very different. I suggest you try both recipes and let me know what you think.
How do I make Turkey Picadillo Soft Tacos?
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned.
Add the onion, chili powder, and cumin and mix in well, breaking up clumps of meat with a fork. Stir in the apple, green chilies, potato, tomatoes, and beef broth. Simmer covered 15 minutes.
