In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned. Add the taco seasoning and ⅓ cup water, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened and flavourful. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Melissa's Notes
Use sturdy chips so they hold up under the toppings. Keep layers balanced to avoid sogginess. Add fresh toppings like avocado or extra green onion after broiling for the best texture.
