Try not to use a chunky salsa. You need the moisture from a thinner salsa to help add moisture to the cooked meat! Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/salsa-verde\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">salsa verde<\/a> to switch it up!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get creative with add-ins!<\/strong> I LOVE adding a can of diced green chilies and grilled onion to the meat! It adds so much flavor! Try adding corn, black beans, or chopped bell peppers! If you use canned corn or beans, make sure to drain the liquid before adding it to the meat. The add-ins make this ground turkey taco meat stretch farther and feed more people!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings: <\/strong>I highly recommend these toppings because these tacos tasted amazing! Top each taco with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/pico-de-gallo\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">pico de Gallo<\/a>, chopped cilantro, and <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/guacamole\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">guacamole<\/a>.
