Instructions

1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, until no pink remains and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 8–10 minutes.
2
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant, then remove the skillet from the heat and let the turkey cool for 5 minutes.
