Description:
A departure from typical leftover turkey dishes, this high-fiber burrito bake gives us our Tex-Mex fix without too much fat. You can also use a 10-tortilla package and reduce turkey by 1/2 cup to make 5 servings. I created this version as part of a high-fiber regimen to lower cholesterol.
