Taquitos

I love taquitos, and the freezer section at the grocery store has some great ones. However I had some leftover turkey and I wanted something to go with green chili soup. So I thought I would try to make a homemade batch of taquitos. They turned out great, and very good for you.

Ingredients:

6 white corn tortillas
1 cup shredded chicken, turkey or pork ( whatever you have)
1/4 cup cheddar cheese ( reduced fat, or fat free work great)
1'4 cup salsa ( I love Pace)
Cooking Spray

Mix the meat, cheese and salsa . Warm the tortillas in the microwave to make them easier to roll. Divide the mixture between the tortillas and wrap them up. Put them on a sheet pan and spray with a cooking spray. Cook at 450 for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start browning.

I love to dip these in guacamole...but sour cream would be good too!

Turkey in a Bag!

 

Please try this Turkey, I have made it on many occasions and it just keeps getting better and better!

Ingredients:

Turkey
Reynolds cooking bag ( turkey size)
1 lemon
2 sprigs of Rosemary
1 onion
2 stalks of celery
Oil
Spice mixture made up of equal parts of salt, rosemary, paprika, marjoram, sage, thyme. ( I usually use about 2 tsps of each; I go a bit heavier on the salt)

Preheat oven to 350. Cut up celery and onion and place it in your cooking bag. Place the bird in the bag and rub it with oil. Stick the lemon (cut in half) along with the sprigs of rosemary into the cavity. Then rub the spice mixture all over the bird. Don't forget the wings!

Follow the directions on the Reynolds box for how long to cook...but I stick a thermometer in the bird while it is cooking. I take it out once it has hit 183 degrees.

TIP!!!!! Don't cut it! Let it rest for at least 1-2 hours.
