I like this recipe because it is not only low-fat but tasty. It is excellent warmed over but can eaten cold-very versatile dish for people on the go.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) bag shredded fat free cheese (your choice)
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) jar picante sauce (I prefer pace's)
1 (16 ounce) container fat free sour cream
1 (6 1/2 ounce) package Mexican cornbread mix
2/3 cup skim milk

Steps:

  • Start browning meat in a large skillet adding the chopped onion and green pepper-drain excess fat.

  • While meat is simmering, preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mix Mexican cornbread mix and your 2/3 cup milk in a medium mixing bowl; set aside. Pour about 1/2 of mixture into 9-inch casserole dish then cover with 1/2 bag of shredded cheese. Repeat-layering the two cover top with cornbread mixture-spreading over entire casserole.
  • Bake in oven for approximately 25 minutes or until brown.
  • Cool for 5 minutes then serve.
