HEALTHY GROUND TUKEY AND BEAN MAKE AHEAD BURRITOS
This recipe for burritos is healthy because it uses lean ground turkey, whole wheat tortillas, brown rice, and reduced fat cheese. You only need 1/2 lb of beans to make this, but I always save myself some time and cook an entire 1lb, and freeze half. Next time I make burritos, I won't have to cook the dry beans first! VEGETARIAN OPTION: omit the ground turkey and use an entire lb of dry beans to make your burritos.

Steps:
- Heat 10 cups of water to boiling in a large pot. Rinse the dry beans and pick out any stones. When the water boils, blanch the beans for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and cover. Hot soak for 4-16 hours.
- Drain the water from the beans and rinse. Pour into a crock pot and add enough water to cover and the salt. Cook on low for for 8-12 hours.
- When the beans are tender, freeze about half for a future batch of burritos or re-fried beans. (If you are using canned beans, start here.) Cook the 2 cups of rice as per the directions on the bag of rice.
- In a large skillet add the olive oil and cook the ground turkey. (Grate the cheese while your cooking the meat to save some time.) When the meat is no longer pink, add the beans (including the liquids) and garlic. Using a potato masher, mash the beans. It will take some muscle to get it all mashed together. Add the salsa and the hot peppers. Cook until the water is reduced and the beans and meat thicken.
- Assemble the burritos with a scoop of bean-meat mix, scoop of rice and a sprinkle of cheese in the center of the tortilla. Fold side, bottom, side, then top. Wrap in wax paper and freeze in a zip lock bag. Or you can put 3 or 4 into lunch containers and freeze.
- To reheat: microwave 1 minute each side and/or toast in an oven or toaster oven 350 for about 10 minutes.
MAKE-AHEAD BURRITOS
We have two children who keep us busy, so I love meals I can just pull out of the freezer. The burritos are wrapped individually so it's easy to take out only the number you need. I serve them with canned refried beans and Spanish rice from a boxed mix. -Jennifer Shafer, Durham, North Carolina.

- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil and onion. Cook onion until softened, 3-5 minutes. Next add all the remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Cook until heated through, 7-10 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and let mixture cool completely.
- Lay out your tortilla and in the middle add 1/2 – 1 cup burrito mixture. How much you add will depend on how large your tortillas are and how big your want your burritos to be. I had large tortillas and added about 3/4 cup mixture to them.
- Form the mixture into a little log in the middle of the tortilla and fold the sides over. Then roll up your burrito kind of like you are wrapping a present. You may need to cut off any excess tortilla at the bottom if they are really large.
- Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer friendly container for up to 3 months.
