I used Mexican oregano and topped with a quick pico. Served them in the Hint of Lime Stand and Stuff Shells. Melted in our mouths! Thanks.

Very nice tacos. I used a full pkg. of turkey (1.20 lbs) and tripled the spices. I liked that you stirred in the spices as the final step. I think it resulted in more flavor! Thanks for posting, Mike. Roxygirl

These did not turn out very well. I did have to add salt and extra chili and cumin. With those additions they were much better. As stated the were inedible! But it was a healthy dinner.

Great, but I did make some changes. I used a full package of ground turkey (20 oz.), increased to 1 small onion & 4 tablespoons Penzey's Bold Taco Seasoning (which is a blend of salt, onion, paprika, tomato powder, red pepper, cumin, garlic, cilantro, oregano, pepper & cocoa). Very flavorful topped with lettuce & salsa. Nice healthy dinner.
