Turkey Salsa Bowls with Tortilla Wedges image

Delicious and nutritious, this dish was a favorite of the kids who participated in the junior chef classes I taught at my church. The recipe encouraged creativity and healthy eating as students designed their own salsa bowls using whole grains, vegetables and lean protein. -Jean Gottfried, Upper Sandusky, Ohio

This recipe was a disappointment. The turkey was tough and the salsa was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The turkey was a bit dry and the salsa was bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different salsa.
