Turkey Tacos in the Crock-pot

I'm not gonna lie- I use my crock-pot year round. And I finally upgraded and got a programmable CP (my cool abbreviation for crock pot). Which is super cool because I am usually not home in time for the 6 hour window, so it automatically switches itself to warming mode.  For some reason this week when I planned my dinner meals, I ended up having 5 CP recipes in a row. Which I am not going to lie- was pretty awesome to come home and not have to cook.

First up, was an idea that came to me when I couldn't sleep (like most ideas do) I had gone to my friend, Amy's house, earlier that night. The Cubs were in the playoffs and we watched the game with the families. Let's not talk about how the Cubs ended the playoffs (wound still too fresh). Anyways, she made turkey tacos. They were really good! And for someone who once refused to jump on the ground turkey train- that's very big for me to say! I try and make my meals as "heart healthy" as possible so ground beef is not really consumed in my casa much anymore. And if it is, it's usually a 93/7 mix- kinda dry for taco meat. So anyways, one of my favorite things to make in the CP is Turkey Chili. I literally throw everything in there, including frozen ground turkey, and let it cook for 6-8 hours. So i figured I would try the same for taco meat.

Long story short- the results were really amazing. I used 4 whole ingredients, which makes this recipe great on the budget! And I think because the meat simmered all day long, it wasn't turkey tasting at all. And when I came home, all I had to do open a can of beans and warm up some tortillas.

Overall, it's a super easy recipe, very versatile, and great for large groups or even parties. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture of the finished product, because everyone scarfed it up so fast. But here's the dets:

Crock-Pot Turkey Tacos

Ingredients:

Gotta love recipes where you dump everything in!

• 1 lb Ground Turkey (frozen works fine)

• 1 Chopped Onion

• 1 14.5 oz Can Diced Tomatoes (Rotel would be awesome!)

• 1 envelope of Taco Seasoning (I used one envelope to one pound meat ratio, you could always do more/less)

Directions: Spray Crock Pot with Nonstick spray. Dump all ingredients in Crock Pot. I put the taco seasoning directly on the meat, which worked really well. Let cook on low for 6-10 hours. Crumble meat with spoon, stir, and enjoy! :)
