Turkey is one of those things that I love to cook – it is economical, easy, and can feed our family of six for several days. However, one can only eat ‘just turkey’ for so many days, right? So, I am forever trying to play ‘hide the _____’ {you know, it’s kind of like hide the ham at Christmas} Sometimes to create something new all you have to do is think of one of your other favorites – well, that just so happens to be Mexican!
