I discovered a different way to serve economical turkey thighs. I simmer them in tomato sauce, green chiles and seasonings until they're tender and flavorful, then serve them in tortillas with our favorite fresh toppings. —Stella Schams, Tempe, Arizona

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds turkey thighs or drumsticks
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
