Timely Turkey Tostadas
Yield: Makes 4 tostadas (4 servings)
Source: The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes
1/2 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup salsa or picante sauce
1/4 cup Homemade Chicken Broth or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, or 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 (6-inch diameter) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar or reduced-fat Monterey
Jack/Colby blend cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1 chopped fresh jalapeno pepper (optional)
Saute the turkey, onion, and garlic in a large non-stick skillet over medium
heat until no longer pink. Drain and return to the skillet. Add the salsa,
broth, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid
has evaporated, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the
turkey mixture simmers, broil the tortillas about 4 to 5 inches from the heat
source until crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally.
Stir the cilantro into the turkey mixture. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup
turkey mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese, 2 tablespoons lettuce, and 1 tablespoon
chopped tomato. Sprinkle with jalapeno pepper, if desired.
