Recipe Monday-Ground Turkey Tostadas

Just line up all the ingredients of the tostadas on a counter and let each child assemble it themselves. Encourage them to try and experiment with different combinations. This recipe is great with shredded chicken or lean ground beef also. If you are vegetarian or kosher, this recipe also works great with veggie crumbes. Enjoy!
