Kelly's Spicy Lean Mexican Casserole

This is a great recipe and when made, doesn't last long. At only 390 calories per serving this casserole packs a very spicy punch that is high in protein and flavor.


Servings: 8-10


Ingredients:


2 lbs Jennie-O ground turkey

16 soft corn tortillas, cut in quarters

1 medium onion, diced

6-8 fresh green chili's,diced: We like Hatch brand chili's

2 1/2 cups of Cheddar Cheese

2 19oz cans of medium Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce.



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook ground turkey in a skillet until done. Set aside.

Simmer sauce for ten minutes.

Soak quartered tortillas in sauce for about 45 seconds.


In a large casserole pan/dish: (Kelly uses a 9x13 inch 3 quart casserole dish)

Layer 1/3 the soaked shells, 1/3 the ground turkey, 1/3 the onions, chili's, and cheese. Layer two more times with remainder.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until casserole is bubbling.




Optional: Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomato's.

I like to top with Uncle Dan's Great Salsa.


Note: Our kids find the medium Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce too spicy so we will use the mild.
