Timely Turkey Tostadas

== Ingredients ==
* ½ pound lean ground turkey
* ½ cup coarsely chopped onion
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* ½ cup salsa or picante sauce
* ¼ cup homemade chicken broth or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, or ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
* 4 x 6-inch diameter flour tortillas
* 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
* ¼ cup (1 ounce) shredded reduced-fat cheddar or reduced-fat Monterey jack / colby blend cheese
* ½ cup shredded lettuce
* ¼ cup chopped tomato
* 1 chopped fresh jalapeno pepper (optional)
==Directions ==
# Sauté the turkey, onion, and garlic in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until no longer pink.
# Drain and return to the skillet.
# Add the salsa, broth, chili powder, and cumin.
# Simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
# While the turkey mixture simmers, broil the tortillas about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source until crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally.
# Stir the cilantro into the turkey mixture.
# Top each tortilla with ¼ cup turkey mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese, 2 tablespoons lettuce, and 1 tablespoon chopped tomato.
# Sprinkle with jalapeno pepper, if desired.
