Turkey Taco Bake

Mar 26, 2009

YUMMERS
1 + lbs ground turkey (the package I had was 1.39lbs and was perfect)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can pinto beans (rinsed & drained)
1 can black beans (rinsed & drained)
1 can (4oz) chopped green chilies
1 pkg reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 can diced tomatoes
Shredded cheddar or mexican blend cheese

Preheat oven to 350.  Coat a 9x9 in baking dish with cooking spray (I used the pampered chef 9x13 rec baker & it was perfect)
Saute onions in a large skillet, add turkey and brown.  Cook until no longer pink; drain any grease.  Stir in beans, green chilies, tomatoes and 1/2 cup water.  Add the taco seasoning and mix well.  When all blended together and heated, pour into the baking dish.  top with cheese.  Bake until heated thoroughly (the book says 45 minutes but I only baked for about 15 because I cooked it longer on the stovetop) and the cheese is melted.

Can be served w/ sour cream, salsa, extra cheese (always a plus) chopped lettuce or tortilla chips. BUT DOESN"T NEED ANYTHING!!!
