Preparing the Turkey
To make the perfect Thanksgiving Tacos, you first need to start with the star of the show – the turkey. Roasting a turkey can seem intimidating, but it's actually quite simple. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. While the oven is heating up, prepare your turkey by removing the giblets and rinsing the bird inside and out. Next, season the turkey with your favorite herbs and spices, such as sage, thyme, and garlic powder. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. Cook the turkey for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving it into bite-sized pieces.
Spicing Things Up
Now it's time to add some Thanksgiving flavors to your tacos. To create a flavorful base, mix together some cranberry sauce and gravy in a small saucepan over medium heat. This will act as your taco sauce. Next, warm up your leftover turkey in a pan and add some stuffing to the mix. This will give your tacos a delicious stuffing filling. You can also add some corn or green beans for extra texture and flavor.
Assembling the Tacos
Now that all the ingredients are ready, it's time to assemble your Thanksgiving Tacos. Warm up some tortillas on a pan and start by spreading a spoonful of the cranberry and gravy mixture on each tortilla. Next, add a generous amount of the turkey and stuffing mixture on top. You can also add some shredded cheddar cheese for some extra gooeyness. Fold the tortilla in half and cook for a few minutes on each side until crispy.
Celebrate with Thanksgiving Tacos
And there you have it – a unique and delicious twist on your traditional Thanksgiving meal. These Thanksgiving Tacos are perfect for a post-Thanksgiving brunch or even as a main dish for your holiday dinner. So why not switch things up this year and try out this creative and tasty recipe? Your taste buds will thank you. Happy Thanksgiving!
