Turkey Salsa Bowls with Tortilla Wedges image

Delicious and nutritious, this dish was a favorite of the kids who participated in the junior chef classes I taught at my church. The recipe encouraged creativity and healthy eating as students designed their own salsa bowls using whole grains, vegetables and lean protein. -Jean Gottfried, Upper Sandusky, Ohio
