Notes

I often double this recipe - feel free to double or triple for larger families.
I use McCormick brand seasonings because I am comfortable with their labeling and allergen statement. Be sure to read labels and use a spice brand that is safe for your needs.
Be sure to use 93% lean ground turkey. Anything leaner and the meat will be dry. If you would rather use ground beef, you can do that.
Store leftover taco meat in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 4 days.
You can also freeze this turkey taco meat. Store in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
