Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 6 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (6-inch)
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 1 lime Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook and break up the meat with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the turkey with the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and any excess liquid to evaporate.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20 seconds.

Step 7

To assemble, place a portion of the turkey mixture onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 10

Serve each chalupa with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
