this is the recipe i use for tacos. way better than the instant taco seasoning packets. 
Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 1/2 cups onion, finely chopped
* 3 tablespoons minced garlic
* 3 tablespoons ground cumin
* 2 pounds ground beef
* 1 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
* 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1/4 cup tomato paste
* 12 to 16 taco shells or warmed soft tortillas, as desired
* Grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar, for garnish
* Diced tomatoes, for garnish
* Minced jalapenos, for garnish
* Sour cream, for garnish
* Shredded iceburg lettuce, for garnish
* Guacamole, recipe follows, for garnish
* Salsa, recipe follows, for garnish
* Chopped red onion, for garnish
Directions
Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the onions in the pan and saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin to the pan and continue to saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef to the pan and cook, breaking the pieces up as they cook, until the meat is browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with the chipotle pepper and the salt. Add the beef broth and tomato paste to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook the meat, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve with the garnishes for guests to assemble their tacos to their liking.
i haven't tried ground turkey yet. i usually just use the leanest ground beef i can find.
