Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 pound turkey (ground)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin (dried)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder (omit for migraine diet)
  • 2 cups greens finely shredded
  • 8 corn tortillas (sub Savoy cabbage leaves for paleo version)
  • 1 package cabbage shredded

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering. Swirl to coat the pan.
  • Add the turkey and brown, breaking it up with a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the spices over the turkey evenly as it cooks. When the turkey is mostly cooked but still a little pink in spots, add the greens and continue to cook until the greens are wilted and the turkey is cooked through.
  • Heat a flat griddle, grill pan, or burner to medium. Heat the tortillas for a couple of minutes on each side until golden and pliable.
  • Assemble the tacos in this order: warm tortilla, generous scoop of turkey filling, small handful of shredded cabbage, drizzle of sauce. (Sauce described above the recipe.)
