How was your Cinco de Mayo? Ours was tasty and troublesome, what a combination! Why troublesome, you ask? Well, I wanted to share with you all my dinner creation last night, but it was nearly impossible. My computer and my phone were not collaborating until this morning when I finally was able to import my pictures over to my computer. Now to the tasty part… Our friends at Jennie-O sent us one 20 ounce pack of their taco seasoned ground turkey, one pack of Wholly Guacamole and one can of Herdez salsa casera to help with our Cinco de Mayo fiesta. While making tacos is my easy go-to recipe, I wanted to try and make something I hadn’t tried before. I began to think of what I could make & that everyone would enjoy, it also had to be an easy recipe to pull out on a weeknight. My solution was to make Easy Turkey Nachos. And why are these nachos easy? Well, most probably everything in this recipe you already have at hand, I also made the nacho chips from corn Tortillas to give them that unique homemade feel. Check out my recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 1 package Jennie-o Lean Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey 20 oz.
- Corn tortillas, cut into quarters
- Cooking spray
- Wholly Guacamole 8 oz.
- Mexican crumbling cheese 12 oz.
- Salsa casera, small can
Directions:
- Cook turkey as specified on the package. Make sure it is cooked throughout or it is 165°F (as measured by a meat thermometer).
- Moist corn tortillas with a bit of water and set aside. Heat a large skillet (medium-high heat), spray skillet with cooking spray, and cook tortilla quarters in batches 1 to 2 minutes per side or until desired crispiness.
- Arrange tortilla wedges on serving plate. Top with turkey, guacamole, crumbling cheese & salsa casera and enjoy!
The combination of the guacamole, the crumbling cheese, and salsa casera give this nachos a very unique flavor and the crunchiness of the corn tortillas give these Easy Turkey Nachos the final touch.

I roast a turkey breaast in the crock pot and it is great
love turkey burgers
I make a Chili mac
2 lbs Turkey
1 lb pasta
32 oz shredded cheese. I use pepperjack
1 packet of chili seasoning

I love using turkey to make home made chili. I love mine with lots of onions, tomatoes and olives.
I use ground turkey in tacos.
The last time we used turkey was turkey and cheese sausage and we cut it up and put it in soft tortillas with cheese.
Love this recipe, would be great for a bbq
I use turkey bacon all the time! My best easy recipe is a simple Cesar Salad using lots of turkey bacon to crumble in and over the top! Its quick and light, perfect for the summer and the turkey provides a great flavor and a touch of protein!
I don’t have any recipes specifically for turkey, but I like to swap turkey for beef in spaghetti sauce, chilis and taco filling. I actually just bought Jennie O turkey burgers for the first time yesterday, so I am excited to try them!
I don’t have a specific recipe but I’ve put boneless turkey breast in the crockpot before. It is so juicy, tender & delicious. 🙂
We use it to make hamburgers. I season the meat with all kinds of special seasonings. Then I chop up some onions and add that to the meat a well. Then I just make some patties and throw then on the grill. Sometimes I add a chees slice or bacon, and a onion ring. Comes out so good.
I love to make asian style ground turkey burgers by adding a touch of soy sauce to a turkey patty. I serve it with hoisin sauce.
I am fun of the bacon as I have never tried any of the other varieties. i would like to try the sausage variety
I like to bake cutlets. I soak them in water and lemon juice, dip them in a mixture of bread crumbs and parm cheese and bake in oven. My family loves them with mashed potatoes.
Thanks!
I like to make chili with ground turkey instead of ground beef sometimes. It cuts the fat, and it is hard to taste the difference!

I use ground turkey for tacos. My son says he doesn’t like ground turkey, but he eats those tacos every single time and doesn’t know the difference.
I love turkey chili and turkey spaghetti
Love this recipe!!! So easy and so good . Thank you for th eopportunity .
I like sneaking turkey in to any ground beef recipe: sloppy joes, tacos, meatballs.
I actually prefer turkey for the meatballs in Albondigas.
We enjoy using Turkey in place of hamburger meet from time to time when making Nachos, burritos and tacos. We also add it to our salad on occasion to spice things up.
Turkey Taco Mac-Ground Turkey, one can diced tomoatoes, one cup elbow mac noodles, taco seasoning. one cup of water.
Brown Turkey

Something my mom used to make….brown some ground turkey, then add tomato sauce, tomato paste, al dente pasta, corn & kidney beans.
I ate trying to limit my carb intake, so instead of tacos I brown a package of Jennie-O and then throw in a can of rotel and seasonings. Then I eat the the turkey in a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla.
I like to make Turkey Chili in the crock pot with chili seasoning, kidney and black beans!
My tip is to bake turkey along with citrus. It tastes very fresh.
