4. Add all powdered spices and stir to coat vegetables.
5. Add turkey.
6. Saute for three or four minutes, until just cooked through. Use your spoon or spatula to break it up.

9. Add cilantro and stir well.

12. Garnishes: Top with low-fat sour cream, grated cheese, avocado slices, chopped green onions, or anything else that suits your fancy! I love to eat it with tortilla chips.
