   Cook onion and garlic: Heat the olive oil in a skillet or saute pan. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and taco seasoning and cook 30 seconds longer.

   Cook ground turkey: Add the ground turkey and break up into small chunks with a wooden spoon. Add the water and stir until the turkey is well coated with the seasoning mixture.
