Categories     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 poblano peppers (about 8 ounces)
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 fresh turkey breast (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 small red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
Four 12-inch flour tortillas
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Roast poblanos on a fork directly over a gas flame, turning until all sides are charred, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool in a plastic bag.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook onions and garlic in olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add turkey, raise heat to medium, and cook until meat is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Season; add potatoes and stock. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer until potatoes and turkey are cooked, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover; raise heat to medium; cook to reduce liquid, 8 to 10 minutes. Peel and seed poblanos, cut in strips, and add to mixture.
  • Place a quarter of the mixture on a tortilla, midway between the center and the edge near you. Scatter a quarter of the cheese over mixture. Fold right and left sides of tortilla over filling and roll up tortilla away from you. Repeat with other tortillas, place in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake to heat through, about 15 minutes.

Great burritos that your kids will eat and ask for more. Ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, rice, onions, garlic, and celery wrapped in red cabbage within a white tortilla shell. We go to a lot of evening swim meets and our kids love them. If we told them what was inside they would say Eww! Without cheese, this is a lighter dinner alternative on the go.
