Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 tsp. cumin, plus more or less to taste
  • ½ tsp. cayenne, plus more or less to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Trader Joe’s Organic Tricolor Quinoa
  • 7 oz. (1 container) Fage plain Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • Salt, to taste
  • 5 oz. (1/2 bag) Trader Joe's pre-packaged kale
  • Olive oil spray
  • Salt and pepper
  • Mild or spicy salsa
  • Corn tortillas
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add ground turkey and cook about 10 minutes, or until done. Add cumin, cayenne and salt and pepper. Strain turkey.
  3. While turkey is cooking, bring a large pot of water and 1 cup quinoa to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook quinoa 10-12 minutes, or until fluffy and all water absorbs. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread kale out evenly on baking sheet. Lightly spray kale with olive oil (too much oil will make them soggy), then season with salt and pepper. Cook kale in oven for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes.
  5. Warm corn tortillas on stove top, or microwave for 10-12 seconds.
  6. To prepare tacos: Lay warm corn tortillas flat, then top with ground turkey, quinoa, Greek yogurt sauce, salsa and kale chips. Repeat steps for all tacos. Serve hot.
  7. (Side note: Do not make kale chips ahead, as they do not store well and get soggy).
