Steps

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, about 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Cut corn kernels from cobs. Add to the turkey and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
3. Warm the queso cheese dip in a small pot or microwave until pourable, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
5. Fill tortillas with turkey and corn mixture, drizzle with queso, and squeeze fresh lemon over each taco. Serve immediately.

Why it’s cheap

4 of the 8 ingredients were on sale at Walmart the week of October 11, 2026, led by ground turkey at $6.96 instead of $15.92.

The sale items rang up $12.79 under their regular prices.

Penny Meals prices a dinner by the share of each package you actually cook, adds an estimated shelf price for anything that wasn’t on sale, and counts pantry staples like oil and salt as free. That came to $1.70 a serving, or $6.80 for 4 servings.
