    Ground Turkey Fajitas (Okay, so they are faux-jitas, but close enough, right?)

    I was desperate for some new healthy recipes to add to our weekday dinners.  A little googling brought me to this recipe from Cooks.com  I altered it just a bit and ended up with a flavorful meal with zero guilt!  The recipe below is for 2 servings, so feel free to alter the amounts to suit your family size!

    • 8oz lean ground turkey
    • Splash of vegetable oil
    • ½ sweet onion, chopped
    • 2 stalks celery, chopped

    3. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    4. Add mushrooms and green pepper and continue to cook until soft.

    Nutritional Info:

    Turkey mixture, per serving (½ of above recipe):  240 calories, 15g fat, 5g carbs, 23g protein

    Corn tortillas, each: 50 calories,  0.7g fat, 10.7 carbs, 1.4g protein

    Matt can have more calories per day than I can, so he ate a couple of extra tortillas with the yummy turkey mixture inside.  That's not the only way to eat this, however..

    I ate mine like this - in a bowl with a spoon and a single tortilla on the side.  Yum yum!

      certainly like your web site but you have to take a look at the
      spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to inform the reality however I will certainly come back again.

      Add the ground turkey meat along with all of the spices and salt. Stir and chop the meat into quarter-sized hunks. Continue stirring and cooking until meat is cooked all the way through, about 5 to 8 minutes.

      I don't have worcestershire sauce, is there anything I can substitute for it?

        I love to substitute naturally brewed soy sauce in place of worcestershire sauce in any recipe. It enhances the flavor of the meat very nicely. Most worcestershire sauces are made with undesirable ingredients. Annie's Organic Worcestershire Sauce has good ingredients, but I haven't tried it yet.

      I just made this for dinner last night. I wasn't really sure what to expect, because, you know, Grounds turkey and chicken don't really have much natural flavor. My boyfriend my possibly be diabetic and has been really watching his diet, so in an effort to be supportive, I'm making changes to mine as well. I had found a brand of tortillas in the store (Kroger) called Tumaro's Low-in-carb multi-grain wraps. 60 calories and 4 net carbs. Take some time to read the labels on the tortillas some time!!! OH MY WORD!! These don't have much taste alone, but went nicely when I made this recipe as a burrito. I had red bell peppers on hand, so I substituted those for the green ones and to add a bit of color. I went ahead and indulged with a small dollop of my beloved sour cream and a small sprinkle of shredded cheese. I really liked this recipe! There was plenty of flavor and it is filling and I will certainly make it again!

        Hi Coni! I don't really measure the seasonings - I just add and taste until it's just right! 🙂

      Just made this for dinner and it was fabulous!! I chopped up the veggies really small so my kids would have no idea how much good stuff that they say they don't like is really in there. They had no idea and almost licked their plates! As did I... Well done!!! Thank you!! Easy for my hubby too - gluten free!

      Just made these for dinner, but added the following:

      2 cloves garlic, chopped
      1/2 tsp smoked paprika
      1 tsp cumin
      1/2 tsp chili powder
      1/2 tsp onion granules

      Without the addition of the above, they just didn't have enough flavour for me. I'm not sure that the mixture really lends itself to fajitas, to be honest. It might be good over a baked potato or even as a pasta sauce!

      I made these for dinner tonight.  My husband is a picky fajita eater and he said he loved them!  I added a little cumin, ground red pepper, and onion salt.  My husband said this recipe was definitely a keeper and he likes it better than the packaged mixes we usually buy!

      Uh these are not Fajitas! they are strips of marinated meat, fried and served (usually in a tortilla)

        For the traditional use of "fajita", you are exactly right! The word directly refers to a type of skirt steak. Nowadays the term is being used more generally to encompass many types of meat cooked with bell peppers and onions and served in a flour or corn tortilla. Either way, they're yummy! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
