Paleo & Whole30 Turkey Taco Bowls with Mashed Plantains

I’m crazy about Mexican food. I could eat Taco Salad Bowls every night of the week if I did’t have to feed the kids and my husband. They don’t understand eating the same meal every night just because 1) it’s easy, 2) it’s cheap and 3) it’s GOOD. Fine! Here are some Turkey Taco Bowls with Mashed Plantains to change things up a bit. Guess what? They’re still easy, cheap and GOOD. Better than good, really, but I’ll leave that up to you to decide! Did I mention they’re Whole30-compliant, Paleo, Primal and gluten-, grain-, and dairy-free? Even better, right?

Ingredients
  

Mashed Plantains

  • 2 ripe plantains sliced into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tbsp. ghee
  • salt and pepper to taste

Turkey Taco Bowls

  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 2 tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 tbsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. salt plus more to taste

Instructions
 

Mashed Plantains

  • Boil the plantain chunks in water for 10-15 minutes until soft and easily pierced with a knife.
  • Drain and mash with ghee, salt and pepper.

Turkey Taco Bowls

  • Melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the ground turkey for 5 minutes. It will still be partially pink.

  • Stir in water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt.
  • Simmer everything 10-15 minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Scoop into bowls over mashed plantains.
  • Add toppings of your choice. I used Wholly Guacamole Verde and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve with a squeeze of lime juice (1/2 lime per bowl), Wholly Guacamole Verde, Belizean Onion Sauce or Whole30-compliant salsa.

    I’m always wondering what to do with Spag squash. Thanks for the idea – looks too good not to try 🙂
