“Spicy tacos with low fat turkey have a sweet-hot flavor, yams give them a surprising twist.”
Ingredients:
| 1 yam, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil 3/4 pound ground turkey 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion 1 clove garlic, minced 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced 1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup tomatillo salsa 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 16 warm flour tortillas |
Directions:
| 1. | Put the diced yam in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes. |
| 2. | Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas. |
