When I started eating clean, I knew the only way to get my husband on board was to keep making our dinners yummy and creative. Oh, wait, scratch that. To keep me on board, we had to eat real food that was delicious, creative, and didn’t taste like aboard. This Turkey Taco Skillet was one of the first recipes I found that we loved because it was healthy and used one pot.
As I started eating cleaner, I decided to take this turkey taco skillet recipe, “clean” it up, and make it a little more 21 Day Fix “approved”. So here is my version of it!
