Lean ground turkey is used in place of pork to create this incredibly tasty lighter version of Mexican chorizo. Create taco meat from it, make it into burger patties, or fry some up with eggs! I use this to prepare my recipe for spaghetti squash stuffed with chorizo, which is also available on this website. The options are limitless!
