Turkey Chorizo (Loose, not Encased)
janelle
"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."

I love the flavor of chorizo, but I don't really care to eat red meat so this twist with turkey was perfect for me. I used it to make a Picadillo recipe instead of regular chorizo which was a ...
