Turkey Pesto Provolone Tacos

So I was in the mood for pesto today, and I really wanted to use my lovely basil plants that I transplanted this weekend.
I bought a small pack of ground turkey, provolone sliced cheese and some romane hearts.  I had everything else at home, my co-workers told me about making provolone taco shells and since I don't eat wheat this seemed to be a perfect taco shell alternative.  For those of you who don't eat dairy, sorry. 
By now you have realized I'm not a stickler for measurements, and again I didn't really measure this so I will try to be close ;)

For my pesto,
Two tops of a basil plant (about 10 leaves) I think more would be better
1/4 C pine nuts
2 Tbsp almond oil ( I just don't like olive )
1Tsp garlic ( I used freeze dried but fresh would be awesome)
Salt and pepper to taste

Like I said not a stickler.
I put the provolone cheese on parchment paper in the oven for 10 min at 350, when they brown take them out and peel them off the parchment paper and drap them over a wooden spoon until cool.
I put all the pesto ingredients in my magic bullet with a little water and let er rip.
Brown your turkey in a pan then add the pesto mixture and let simmer for a few minutes. Cut up your tomato and romane hearts, stuff your taco and wa la!
