Servings:

Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the beans and chili powder. Continue to cook, stirring often until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the tortillas according to the package instructions.
To make burritos, spoon one-fourth of the turkey bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top each with 2 tablespoons of salsa, 1 tablespoon cheese and one-fourth of the scallions. Fold up each burrito and place seam side down on a serving plate.

One of the things I love most about this recipe is how flexible it is. Here are a few of my favorite ways to change things up:

Make it spicier — Add more chili powder, a pinch of cayenne, or a chopped jalapeño when cooking the turkey.
Bulk up the filling — Add chopped onion, bell pepper, or mushrooms to the skillet when browning the turkey for extra vegetables and volume.
Make it a burrito bowl — Skip the tortilla and serve the filling over rice, salad greens, or cauliflower rice.
Make it an enchilada — Assemble the burritos, top with enchilada sauce and a little extra cheese, and bake until bubbly.
Add toppings — Fat-free sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeño, or a squeeze of lime all make wonderful additions.
Make it vegetarian — Swap the turkey for an extra can of beans. It's just as satisfying.
