Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
2 medium apples, cored and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast the Apples: Toss the diced apples with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Cook the Turkey: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine: Once the apples are roasted, add them to the skillet with the turkey and stir to combine.
Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the turkey and apple mixture. Top with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side, if desired.
