Salsa, Ground Turkey & Leek Stir Fry

Turkey makes wonderful burrito meat, especially when it is paired with leeks, garlic, cumin, red pepper and salsa verde. Here is the recipe I cooked tonight. I served the turkey with shredded romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan and extra sharp white cheese, and salsa verde, and herbed lentil beans, and steamed corn tortillas.

Salsa, Ground Turkey & Leek Stir Fry

You'll need:

1 pound ground turkey
3 TBS butter
1 large leek, use the green part too! Cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/4 cup salsa verde (green salsa)
1 tsp powdered cumin
1 tsp powdered garlic
1 tsp dark red pepper (non-spicy) If you like it spicy add 1/4 tsp spicy red pepper

Heat 2 TBS butter on cast iron pan on medium heat. Add all of the leek, chopped. Cover and cook until the leek is soft. Then add the ground turkey, salsa verde, 1 TBS butter, cumin, garlic, and red pepper. Stir and cover for 5 minutes. Check meat, break it up and mix with other ingredients. Cook another 2-5 minutes if necessary. Serve in burritos, with a salad, or with nachos.
