Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

3/4 pound (12 ounces) potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon canola oil

3/4 pound (12 ounces) ground lean turkey

1 large carrot, shredded

1/3 cup sliced green onions with tops

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning or basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 large (9 to 10-inch) whole wheat or high fiber tortillas

Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add and break up turkey; cook 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Mix in carrot; cook 2 minutes. Add potatoes and onions; cook and toss 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; mix in tomato sauce, cheese, and herbs. Cook, stirring occasionally, four to five minutes until mixture is hot and most of sauce is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. On work surface, lay out tortillas. Place 3/4 cup hot turkey mixture on each; fold and roll up as for burritos. Cut in halves and place on serving plates. Accompany with sour cream, if desired
