Low-Fat Ground Turkey Burritos + Jennie-O Snack Ideas

Low-Fat Ground Turkey Burritos

You don't often think of using ground turkey when making burritos, but surprisingly it's very tasty and makes the perfect alternative to ground beef. This low-fat ground turkey recipe is super simple to make and the whole family will absolutely love it. The best part is the ground turkey comes pre-seasoned so you'll never have to worry about measuring or buying extra seasonings. Using Jennie-O Pre-Seasoned Lean Taco-Seasoned Ground Turkey not only saves you time in the kitchen but it's also perfect for those who are trying to watch their waistline, like myself. So, how about stepping out of your comfort zone and try adding a little turkey to your Mexican favorites. You'll be glad you did! We'd also like to thank Jennie-O for providing us with the ground turkey for our meal. They totally rock, right?

Low-Fat Ground Turkey Burritos

What you'll need

  • 1 (8-ounce) package of Weight Watchers Mexican Style Blend Shredded Cheese
  • 2 (20-ounce) packages of JENNIE-O Lean Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey
  • Mission Carb Balance Large/Burrito Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • 1 (8-ounce) container of Daisy Light Sour Cream
  • 16-once can of Rosarita Refried Beans, no fat
  •  3 cups of shredded OR chopped Lettuce
  •  2 2.25-ounces Early California Sliced Ripe Olives 
  • 1 large Red Tomato finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup of chopped Onions
  • Cooking Spray
Let's get cookin'

In large skillet, sauté onions over medium-high heat. Then Add turkey. Cook the turkey as specified on the package. Always cook to well-done, 165°F. as measured by a meat thermometer. Then warm your refried beans in separate pan. Then spoon your ingredients into the center of the warmed tortilla, roll and serve. You can make approximately five burritos and you can add as many (or as few) veggies as you like. Enjoy!
