This ground turkey burritos that will fool your kids recipe is a great kid-friendly recipe—your kids will eat the burritos and ask for more! Ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, rice, onions, garlic, and celery are wrapped in red cabbage within a white tortilla shell. We go to many evening swim meets, and our kids love them for an on-the-go dinner. If we told them what was inside, they would say, "Ew!" Make these without cheese for a lighter option.
