The last bit of brown turkey


So, the children won't eat it and you're not so sure you want to yourself, but it's still edible and seems such a waste. The trick is to disguise it as something else - not a whole lot you can do to make it look less like turkey in a small amount of time with all the month's money spent on Christmas already, but the fajitas below cost well under £10 (possibly even £5) and will feed at least four people.

Turkey Fajitas

Ingredients
  • Packet of tortillas or deli wraps
  • Red / green capsicum pepper, sliced thinly
  • Turkey, sliced into thin strips
  • 200g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp sunflower / olive oil
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp chilli powder, salt, pepper and 1-2 tbsp tomato puree (or ketchup) - alternatively buy a packet of fajita seasoning
  • Small pot of natural yoghurt
  • Small tin of refried beans (optional)
  • Small jar of sliced, jalapeno peppers or guacamole (optional)

Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a moderate heat and fry off the chilli powder and tomato puree for about 30 seconds. Add the turkey, red / green capsicums and salt and pepper to taste. Fry until turkey is piping hot.
  2. Heat the refried beans and spread these on the tortillas.
  3. Place some of the turkey on top of the refried beans, sprinkle with grated cheese, natural yoghurt and jalapeno peppers.
  4. Fold bottom end of tortilla upwards, then roll in both sides.
  5. Serve with salad to get some of your five fruit and vegetables a day!
