Notes
- You can serve these turkey fajitas on tortillas or over rice as a fajita bowl.
- If you don’t have leftover turkey, you can cook some turkey breasts or thighs or buy pre-cooked turkey.
- You can use white or dark meat or a mix of both. Whatever you prefer!
- When reheating the turkey, make sure it’s reheated to a safe internal temperature of 165F degrees. Be careful not to overheat it as it will dry out.
- If you don’t have cumin or chili powder, you can use store-bought fajita seasoning or even taco seasoning in a pinch.
- If you like your fajitas spicier, just add more seasoning or even a dash of cayenne pepper.
