PROS

This dish is packed full of flavor from the various spices used, and is a fresh take on traditional tacos.

The ground turkey makes for a leaner alternative to beef while still being a great protein source.

CONS

Additionally, some of the spices used (such as turmeric) can cause staining on clothing and counter tops.
