2. Meanwhile, cook turkey in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 6 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain liquid.

Test Kitchen Tips:

1. Serving Suggestion: Serve with assorted toppings, such as reduced fat sour cream, chopped cilantro and guacamole.
2. Rinsing quinoa with cold water prior to cooking helps reduce the bitterness that comes from a coating found on the seeds called saponins.
3. To cook quinoa, use 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa, so 1 cup of water to cook 1/2 cup dry quinoa.
