Carrageenan Free Ground Turkey Tacos with Plantain Shells

Crispy baked plantain rounds take the place of traditional corn or flour tortillas here, and the result is genuinely impressive — sturdy enough to hold a generous scoop of filling, with golden, slightly caramelized edges that add a subtle sweetness to every bite. The smashed-and-re-baked technique is the real magic: a quick press with the bottom of a glass transforms soft rounds into thin, crisp shells without a drop of frying oil. The turkey filling is deeply savory and warmly spiced, layered with turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and oregano, then finished with coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar for a bright, complex depth that tastes like it took far longer than it did. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce seamlessly, which matters because so many bottled sauces and seasonings sneak in additives that people following a clean ingredient approach are trying to avoid. Everything here — from the bone broth to the fresh avocado and shredded cabbage on top — is straightforward and whole, so you know exactly what you're eating. A squeeze of lime over the assembled tacos ties it all together and makes the flavors pop. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks impressive on the plate but comes together with minimal fuss.
