In an attempt to eat a little healthier we've been substituting ground turkey for ground beef. I finally found a recipe that we like for tacos. Ground turkey can be pretty bland, but this recipe adds lots of good flavor while still being healthier for you than ground beef.
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 small onion, minced
2 T. green bell pepper, minced
3/4 cup water
1/2 8oz. can tomato sauce
Brown turkey in large skillet and then add all dry seasoning. Add onion, pepper, water, and tomato sauce and cover. Simmer on low for 20 minutes.
These were great toped with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, sour cream and cheese.

Greek Tacos
Another easy one that sounds a little weird, but it's really good.
Pitas
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Red Onion
Feta Cheese
Caesar Dressing (I like the more vinagarette-looking dressing for this)
BBQ Sauce (I like Famous Dave's Original sauce, but any sauce would be fine)
Chicken
Here's what you want--cooked chicken with BBQ sauce. So, cook the chicken however you want, just be sure that it's covered in sauce when you're ready to eat.
Dice up the vegetables. Crumble the feta cheese. Slice the pitas in half.
Then just assemble it like a taco. Put your BBQ chicken in the bottom, top with desired vegetables, cheese, and give it a little pour of dressing over top.
That's it! Sounds odd, but it's fabulous!
