Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 28m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/3 cup whipped cream cheese, at room temperature (about 3 ounces)
1/2 tablespoon honey
4 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
1/2 small red apple, such as Red Delicious, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella (4 ounces)
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar (4 ounces)
8 thin slices smoked Black Forest deli turkey meat (5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Spray a nonstick grill pan or nonstick griddle pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and honey until smooth. Spread evenly over 1 side of each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Place 2 or 3 apple slices in a single row about 1 inch from the nearest edge of each tortilla. In a small bowl, combine the 2 cheeses. Sprinkle half the cheese mixture on top. Place 2 slices turkey side-by-side on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Tightly roll up each tortilla like a jelly roll.
  • Place the tortilla rolls, seam-side down, on the grill. Cook, turning every 2 minutes, until the tortillas are brown on all sides and the cheese starts to melt. Cool for 10 minutes.

TURKEY PICADILLO

Long before sloppy joes became an American classic, picadillo was a fixture in Cuba. It is economical, easy and quick -- a winning combination. In this version, inspired by *Eating Well* turkey is used as a lighter alternative to ground beef. Serve this over white rice with Recipe #134349 and a salad.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 eggs (optional)
14 ounces lean ground turkey or 14 ounces lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small carrot, diced small 1/4 inch or smaller
3/4 cup chopped scallion, divided
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup chopped pimento-stuffed green olives
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • If using eggs, place in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil; simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes. Drain, peel and slice and set aside.
  • Cook meat and onions in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, crumbling the turkey with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. If you like, you can blot off any excess oil, more desireable if you are using ground beef.

Continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add raisins, olives, tomato paste, water and stir to blend. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Season with pepper.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon medium-hot chili powder (more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or rice vinegar
Salt to taste
1 tart apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
12 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage (about 6 ounces)
Salsa and crumbled queso fresco as desired

Steps:

  • Pulse the canned tomatoes with juice in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until puréed. Set aside.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, stirring and breaking apart the meat, until it is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. If the meat has released any liquid into the pan, carefully pour it off, then stir in the pepper, chili powder, cinnamon, cloves and raisins and stir together for 1 minute.
  • Add the puréed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and salt to taste, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring often. Add the apple and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and meaty. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Cover the cabbage with cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and spin dry. Toss with the remaining vinegar. Heat the tortillas and spoon the picadillo onto each one. Top with shredded cabbage, garnish with salsa and crumbled queso fresco if desired, and serve.
