Turkey Tostadas
Yield: Makes 4 tostadas (4 servings)

1/2 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup salsa or picante sauce
1/4 cup Homemade Chicken Broth or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, or 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 (6-inch diameter) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar or Jack/Colby blend cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1 chopped fresh jalapeno pepper (optional)

Saute the turkey, onion, and garlic in a large non-stick skillet
over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain and return to the
skillet. Add the salsa, broth, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer,
uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 to 12
minutes, stirring occasionally. While the turkey mixture simmers,
broil the tortillas about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source until
crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally.

Stir the cilantro into the turkey mixture. Top each tortilla with
1/4 cup turkey mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese, 2 tablespoons lettuce,
and 1 tablespoon chopped tomato. Sprinkle with jalapeno pepper, if
desired.
