Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt.

Candy Apple Butter
A slightly sweet and sassy apple butter kids are sure to love! Cinnamon oil and red food coloring may be used in place of the candies. If using the cinnamon oil and omitting brown sugar this becomes a healthier tasty treat your kids won't know is good for them! My kids love this on buttered bread, warm atop french toast, or on ice cream.
Linda's Oxtail and Barley Soup
Thick, hearty, and full of flavor, this is the best oxtail and barley soup you'll ever eat! There's a lot of prep work, and the soup takes a long time to cook, but it's well worth the effort. Serve it in a deep bowl with a slice of fresh, hot bread and a glass of red wine. The reheated soup tastes great the next day if you have any leftovers.
Texas Sheet Cake Cookies
This is the cookie version of the fudgy, chocolaty goodness that is a Texas sheet cake. Make sure to frost these cookies while both the cookies, and the frosting, are still warm — because this frosting sets up quickly! Feel free to top these with either chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired. Store in airtight containers.
