Mexican-Style Turkey Chorizo

This super-flavorful lighter version of Mexican chorizo is made with lean ground turkey instead of pork. Form into burger patties, stuff inside sausage casings, use as taco meat, or fry some up with eggs! This is what I use to make my Chorizo-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipe, also found on this site. The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

Steps

1. Combine turkey, vinegar, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano, dried chipotle pepper, cinnamon, and cloves in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
2. Refrigerate at least 1 hour for flavors to blend. Store in the refrigerator or freeze until ready to use.
