Keeping Dinner Easy With “Happy Turkey Taco-Pizzas”

Dinner just isn’t the same when Daddy’s away. It’s hard to muster up the motivation to make a big “family dinner” for just me and the kids (especially when one of them takes the prize as a picky-eater).

Nevertheless, we still have to eat but the kids still must eat right? So, I try to keep it simple, easy, and kid-friendly. Tonight’s dinner was the perfect blend of their favorite foods –  I call it Happy Turkey Taco-Pizza.

Smile - It's Pizza Time

Here’s the super-simple recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 jar of salsa
• small can of corn
• 8-10 flour tortillas (fajita size)
• 1 package of shredded Mexican cheese
• 12 grape tomatoes (cut in half)
• Salt & Pepper (a pinch of each)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Brown the ground turkey with a bit of salt and pepper, and drain off any fat.
3. Stir in the salsa and corn, and simmer until liquid evaporates. (No one wants a soupy pizza!)
4. On a foil-lined cookie sheet, lay out 4-5 tortillas.
5. Spoon a bit of the turkey salsa mixture onto each tortilla.
6. Cover the mixture with cheese, and then top with tomato-halves (in the shape of smiley faces, of course!)
7. Bake for about 10-12 minutes in the oven, or until cheese is thoroughly melted.

Voila! A happy dinner with the kids.
