* ¼ cup homemade [[chicken broth]] or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth

==Procedures ==
# 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.
