Turkey Tacos with Cranberry Salsa




Serves 4
Tart up your Thanksgiving leftovers by adding some unexpected spice to your cranberry sauce.

Prep time: 35 minutes n Total time: 35 minutes

For the cranberry salsa:

  • 1 cup leftover cranberry sauce
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

For the tacos:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow or white onion, sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups leftover roast turkey,
  • coarsely chopped
  • 4 sprouted-grain tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

1. Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Set the salsa aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

2. Meanwhile, assemble the tacos: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and turkey to the skillet. Continue to cook until the onion is lightly caramelized and the turkey is warmed through, about 4 minutes. Remove the filling from the heat.

3. Warm the tortillas, or toast them in a dry skillet. Divide the filling and shredded lettuce
evenly among the tortillas. Serve with the cranberry salsa, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.

For a Phase 2 lunch or dinner, simply skip the cranberry salsa, substitute vegetable sauce for
the oil, and wrap the turkey filling in lettuce cups.
