Turkey Picadillo Tacos

The combination of ingredients sound weird, but they are so yummy!

1 TBL vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1½ lbs. ground turkey
½ tsp. garlic salt
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. ground allspice
¼ tsp. black pepper
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (11 oz.) mexicorn, drained
18 hard taco shells
Shredded lettuce, sour cream, shredded cheese

Heat oven to 400°. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and crumble in the ground turkey; cook, stirring occasionally for 7-8 min or until onion is tender and turkey is no longer pink. Stir in garlic salt, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, pepper and tomato sauce. Simmer, covered for 5 minutes. Meanwhile; heat taco shells in oven for 5 min (watch carefully) add corn to turkey mixture and heat through, about 2 min. to serve spoon about 1/3 cup of filling into each taco shell. Garnish with lettuce, sour cream and cheese if desired.
