Turkey Taco Casserole

Directions

Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Serves: 6

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp of oil, allowing it to heat up. Next, add ground turkey. Cook until all the extra water has evaporated, and the turkey starts to brown. Take turkey out of the pan, place the pan back on the heat and add 2 tbsp of oil. Add onion, peppers and corn to the pan and cook on medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Next, add salt, chili powder and cooked turkey back into the pan. Mix and cook for one more minute and take off the stove.
• Drain kidney beans and place them in a 9 by 12-inch casserole dish and lightly crush them with a fork. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the beans. Then, layer the meat mixture over the cheese.
• Evenly spoon the salsa and sour cream over the meat mix, followed by the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
• Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Take out of the oven and crush nacho chips over the top and serve. You may want to have extra nachos on the side! Or you can let cool and freeze the casserole to save for later.
• When ready to prepare the frozen casserole, remove from freezer and let it come to room temperature before following baking instruction above. Or to bake from frozen, cover with foil and cook at 315°F for 45 minutes, then take foil off and broil for 5 minutes.
