For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the ground turkey with a tablespoon of chili powder or smoked paprika. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a sprinkle of feta would be delicious. If you're short on time, the filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to suit your spice preference. For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes before dicing.
