Season and Marinate Turkey
Start by tossing the ground turkey into a bowl along with the vinegar and all the spices—chili powder, garlic powder, smoked and sweet paprika, salt, cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano, dried chipotle, cinnamon, and cloves. Give everything a good mix until all the ingredients are well combined. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors have time to meld together. When you’re ready to use it, you can keep it in the fridge or freeze it for later.
