For extra flavor, consider roasting the yams instead of microwaving them. Toss with olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your spice preference. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes completely. Feel free to add other toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or avocado slices. These tacos are also delicious with corn tortillas or lettuce wraps for a gluten-free or lower-carb option. Make ahead tip: The turkey and yam mixture can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
