Turkey Chorizo (Loose, not Encased)

"In college, I spent some summers in New Mexico, where I fell in love with authentic Mexican chorizo. But having become very health-conscious, my husband and I have been trying to replicate that chorizo flavor in extra lean ground turkey. This recipe tastes just like the pork chorizo from our favorite taco trucks. Serve in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, omelets, or breakfast burritos. I suggest serving on corn tortillas, with chopped onion and cilantro garnish, and a squeeze of lime."

My whole family enjoyed this recipe, but next time I make it, I’ll reduce the amount of oil and salt, even if that makes it less like chorizo.
