While this shredded turkey is great for tacos, it can also be used for nachos, pizza, or even sandwiches.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350oF (177 o C).
First, create the dry rub by stirring together the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, onion powder, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Coat both sides of the turkey breasts with the dry rub.
Pour about 1 cup (250 mL) of the salsa into the bottom of a 2 quart (1.8 L) casserole dish. Place the turkey breasts in a single layer on top of the salsa, and then pour the remaining salsa over the turkey.
Cover and bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the turkey is 165oF (74 oC).
Place the turkey on a large cutting board, and using two forks, shred all the turkey into bite sized pieces. Stir the shredded turkey into the salsa in the casserole dish.
Serve your shredded turkey with your favourite taco toppings.
