Steps:
- Preparation 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. 2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the onions and zucchini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, 2/3 cup water, and the corn. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes, then stir in the black beans. 3. Spread 1/2 cup of the salsa in the bottom of the baking dish. Lay 4 tortillas over the salsa, and spoon half of the meat mixture on top. Cover with 3/4 cup of the salsa and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Top with 4 more tortillas and the remaining 3/4 cup salsa. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over the top. 4. Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Slice and serve, topped with scallions and sour cream.

Yellow squash, peas, and cut green beans are equally tasty in place of zucchini.6 g fat, 236 calories, 17 g protein, 28 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber, 858 mg sodium Nutritional count does not include sour cream for serving.
