Adjust the heat to your liking - If you want to up the spice level of this turkey taco meat, just add some extra cayenne.
Make your own taco seasoning - I always use the same seasoning mixture for tacos which includes salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin and cayenne. If you are low on time though, feel free to grab store bought!
Don't skip the tomato paste - Sometimes there is concern about using ground turkey instead of beef because it can be less flavorful. This is where the tomato paste plays a big role! This combined with the taco seasoning makes the meat extra flavorful.
