Recipe: Keto-Friendly Halloween Tacos with Parmesan Cheese Crust and Ground Turkey

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Low-carb toppings (avocado, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, olives for “eyeballs”)

How to Conjure Your Creepy Cuisine:

• Prepare the Cauldron: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Cast the Cheese Crust Spell: For each taco shell, take a 1/3 cup of shredded Parmesan and sprinkle it into a circle onto the lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
• Shape Your Specters: After removing them from the oven, let them cool for a minute, then lift them off the sheet and drape over a taco stand or prop between the cups of an inverted muffin tin to form a taco-shell shape. They will harden as they cool.
• Summon the Turkey Filling: While your shells cool, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon and sprinkling with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and the spices are fragrant.
• Enchant with Eerie Toppings: Now for the fun part! Fill your crispy cheese taco shells with the seasoned ground turkey and an array of keto-friendly toppings. For a Halloween twist, arrange olives as “eyeballs,” use strips of avocado as “monster tongues,” or drizzle sour cream in a web pattern.
• Serve Your Sinister Snack: Present your terrifying tacos on a platter, adorned with Halloween décor like plastic spiders or skeleton napkin rings. Watch as your guests devour them with ghoulish glee!

These Keto-Friendly Tacos are proof that you can maintain a healthy lifestyle while indulging in the festive spirit of Halloween. The savory crunch of the Parmesan cheese crust coupled with the flavorful ground turkey filling will have both the living and the undead coming back for more. So, don your witch’s hat, warm up the cauldron, and prepare a Halloween feast that will be remembered for many full moons to come!
