Let the amounts of Turkey Jennifer bought be pounds and that of Cheese be pounds.

From the given information,

$6.35T+4.75C=17.13\\ T+C=3$

Solving the above two equations together,

$6.35T+4.75(3-T)=17.13\\ (6.35-4.75)T+4.75*3=17.13\\ 1.6T=2.88\\ T=\frac{2.88}{1.6}\\ T=1.8$

Thus, Jennifer bought $1.8\;pounds$ of Turkey and $3-1.8=1.2\;pounds$ of Cheese.
