RECIPE OF THE MONTH

1 Tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion, thinly sliced into half moons 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped 8 oz leftover turkey, diced 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp chili powder kosher salt and pepper leftover cranberry chutney or sauce sour cream cilantro, chopped 1 avocado, pitted and sliced 8 flour tortillas, warmed or charred (fajita size, 6 inch) Cook Time: 10 mins • Servings: 8 Transform your Thanksgiving leftovers into a whole new meal! Spice up the leftover turkey and fold it into charred tortillas and top with cilantro, sour cream, avocado, and a big dollop of cranberry chutney (or cranberry sauce). The result is a super zesty taco that tastes nothing like Thanksgiving dinner. INGREDIENTS LEFTOVER TURKEY TACOS Prep Time: 15 mins

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat the olive oil over med/high heat in a large saute pan until hot. Add the onion and jalapeño and saute until golden brown, about 8 mins. 2. Add the turkey and spices and cook until heated through, stringing constantly, about 5 mins. Season with salt and pepper. 3. To serve, spoon some of the chicken/onion mixture on a tortilla shell and garnish with cranberry chutney, sour cream, cilantro, and avocado. RECIPE NOTES • I love cranberry chutney (you can find the recipe at www.whatshouldimakefor.com) in these tacos because it packs a zingy, tangy punch thanks to apple cider vinegar and fresh ginger. Leftover cranberry sauce will work too, but maybe kick it up with a sprinkle of ground ginger and cayenne. • Make these tacos your own by adding in your favorite toppings like cotija cheese or a big splash of hot sauce. • Don’t cook the turkey with the spices for very long. You just want to heat it through, remember it’s already cooked so we won’t want it to become tough or leathery! www.WHATSHOULDIMAKEFOR.com
