Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Sauté the onion, garlic, and jalapeño in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the turkey, cheese, tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste to the same bowl. Mix thoroughly.
- Microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds until pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of filling and roll into taquitos, securing each with a toothpick. Cover the taquitos with a damp towel before cooking to prevent the corn tortillas from drying out and cracking. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a straight-sided skillet to 350°F (175°C). Place the taquitos in batches and fry, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Place the taquitos on paper towels and season with salt and cranberry salsa. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Cranberry salsa:
Place cranberry sauce, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, jalapeño pepper, onion, red pepper, green pepper, tomatoes, salt and black pepper to taste in a food processor and pulse until pureed.
