Who wouldn’t like this healthier version of loaded tacos from Stacey and Randy Newbern of Whitesburg? This can be cut in half or even thirds, depending on your family’s size. For added fiber, add black beans, or for a little spice, add sliced jalapeños. To speed prep time, chop lettuce and tomatoes while the turkey cooks. -- Bo Emerson
