Bright and quick pineapple turkey tacos with a touch of sweetness, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Taco shells or lettuce leaves
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium and add a splash of oil. Let it warm for a few seconds.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook 30–45 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Crumble in the ground turkey, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the diced pineapple, chili powder, and cumin, stirring well to coat.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 5–7 minutes to allow flavors to marry.
  7. Serve the filling in taco shells or lettuce leaves, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

Use 93% lean ground turkey for more flavor, or 99% lean for lower fat. Canned pineapple can be used if drained well. Simple toppings like cilantro and lime enhance the dish.
