Make something new this Tuesday with these super flavorful turkey soft tacos. Great for a party or just an easy grilled dinner, these tacos feature and tart and smoky salsa you make from scratch with fresh tomatillos. Grilling the tomatillos for the sauce gives it a charred smoky flavor that’s addictively delicious. The turkey cutlets require minimal handling and cook quickly. Serve these in under 40 minutes with a corn and bell pepper salad tossed in lime juice and a touch of honey to fill your plate. Pile on the veggies to give these tacos more flavor, texture, and color. Chopped tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, or scallions would all be great add-ons.

To make salsa, place tomatillos on grill rack and grill, turning often, until tomatillos are softened and lightly charred, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to food processor or blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, honey, chipotle, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse until almost smooth. Transfer salsa to small bowl; set aside.

Meanwhile, sprinkle turkey cutlets with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and lightly spray with olive oil nonstick spray. Place cutlets on grill rack and grill, turning once, until cutlets are well marked and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer cutlets to cutting board. Let cool about 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
