Ground Turkey Tacos with White Peach Salsa
Seriously. I can’t speak for the whole country but if you live in these east coast parts, the peaches, white and yellow, have so far seemed like the best tasting, sweetest scented in years. Right?!
Oh my goodness. I have been taking full advantage of this fuzzy skinned ripe juicy fruit since I walked by the first batch at the market, beckoning to me for picking like a visit to a peach tree farm.
I’ve also been enjoying these Ground Turkey Tacos with White Peach Salsa as a quick and easy meal, and admittedly its gotten to where I can hardly eat a taco without a peach salsa topping it!
Cubed juicy peaches, red onion, touch of a long hot red pepper, a bit of lime, fresh cilantro leaves, you can put this together in less than ten minutes.
Whats for dinner? Try it, you’ll love it!
