TURKEY AND VEGGIE PACKETS

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb lean ground turkey

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 red pepper, diced

1 zucchini, grated, squeezed dry

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro + additional leaves for garnish

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp grated lime zest

6 burrito-size flour tortillas

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Lime wedges and sour cream, optional

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic and cook another half minute or so. Add turkey, cumin, chili powder and salt; cook, stirring occasionally and to break up meat.. Cook around 10 minutes until turkey shows no pink. Add the red pepper and cook, stirring, until softened. Add zucchini; cook, stirring about 2 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and stir in 1/3 chopped cilantro, lime juice and lime zest.

Spoon turkey mixture over 1/3 of each tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the cheese. Fold side over filling and roll up to enclose. Place seam side down on surface to flatten.

Coat skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. Cook packers, in batches flipping once, until golden and heated through. This will take a couple minutes per side.

Serve with the lime wedges and sour cream, if desired.
