EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

This is easy to lighten up. Just use reduced-fat sour cream and mayonnaise (or even low-fat yogurt) and light or reduced-fat Cheddar cheese.

Colby cheese or a milder Cheddar cheese is a good cheese choice, too.

I was really surprised at how good this is... I've made it a few times now and my Husband loves it! Like the others I add more spices to the ground turkey and I also use Wheat Tortillas instead of Pita's and I like it a lot better. Very Yummy!

This turned out fabulous, though I took other reviewers' comments to heart when I prepared it -- and tweaked the recipe quite a bit. Added tons of spices to the ground turkey, including garlic salt and Italian seasoning, and that really added some kick. I also included fresh, chopped tomatoes and raw onion before it was baked. Loved this recipe because it was easy to cut down on the calories. I used low-fat mayo, fat-free sour cream and 2% shredded cheese -- and it still tasted great! The sauce is so creamy and delicious. Plus, it was easy to customize for the pickier eaters in my house... my sister, for example, got a "sandwich" (definitely eat this one with a knife and fork) without tomatoes and onion, but with extra cheese. Different and tasty!

My sister and I love this recipe! I had to add some seasoning to the turkey (garlic and italian seasoning). And I may try chipotle instead of paprika next time to give it some kick.
