Taco Tuesday with Jennie-O #SwitchtoTurkey

 

Disclosure:  I received the Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey from Jennie-O, however, the opinions are 100% my own.

Tacos on Tuesday are hubby and my mini men’s favorite mid-week meal and it is made even more special with Jennie-O Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey.  When you use Jennie-O Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey there is no need to add a separate package of Taco Seasoning which is a time and money saver. 

This lean ground turkey is pre-seasoned with just the right amount of spice; tastes great and contains 70% less fat than regular ground beef which is why it’s has become a staple in my kitchen.

I always pour in a little Olive Oil before adding the Jennie-O Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey to a pre-heated pan then cook it until it’s no longer pink with an internal temperature of 165 degrees.  I also use a wooden spatula to break up the ground turkey as it cooks.

Once done, we put a few scoops of it into a Taco Boat then top it with diced onions, fresh cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese and diced avocados.  I also like to sprinkle mine with a little hot sauce because you know I like it spicy!

You can add extras like shredded lettuce, sour cream or even diced jalapeno peppers and wrap in a tortilla, or add to a hard Taco shell, but we like these Taco boats better.

Switch To Turkey ~ Hot Dogs wrapped with Bacon

Hello friends,

Happy Labor Day 2014, the unofficial end of the summer (BOO!!!). I can’t remember a summer flying by as fast as this one did, how about you?

So what are your plans for the grill today? It’s going to be a gorgeous day here in Delaware so I’ll be outside cooking later this afternoon.  However, if you are staying indoors but still want grilled hot dogs you might want to try this tasty recipe.

Switch to Turkey Dogs

I used Jennie-O turkey products because we don’t eat pork and not a lot of beef.   I wrapped a slice of turkey bacon around each hot dog then secured them with two toothpicks.

Pour a little olive oil in the skillet and allow the bacon wrapped dogs to cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning to keep them from burning.

Once the bacon is crispy, add chopped onions and peppers, turn heat on low allowing the peppers and onions to soften for a few minutes longer.

Remove toothpicks and turn hot dogs to ensure they are thoroughly cooked.  In the meantime, toast your bun.
