I Have No Beef With Ground Turkey: Taco Soup

Happy New Year, folks! Thank goodness the holidays are over, and everyone is back on schedule – and we actually know what day of the week it is!

My recipe is for the ultimate comfort food - taco soup. Ginger Brown, an old family friend, was kind enough to share this recipe with me. Ginger is a much healthier eater than I am, so she uses ground turkey instead of ground beef, but I won’t hold that against her. Either is delicious in this recipe!

I hope you all enjoy this dish as much as we have. Coming up next, I will feature a Mardi Gras favorite.

Peace and love …
