TURKEY TEX MEX CASSEROLE



Turkey Tex Mex Casserole image

This is so full of flavor, easy and quick. Using canned, frozen, dried spices, and leftover foods. Great for pot luck. My aim with this dish besides being tasty and easy was to keep it low in fat and sodium. You can add salt to taste I leave it out with the canned foods having enough sodium for my family. If you're not worried about fat add a layer of shredded jack cheese last 5 minutes just to melt. Any leftover meat can be used.

TEX MEX TURKEY CASSEROLE



Tex Mex Turkey Casserole image

This is a spicy casserole. When I made this casserole I used 1 pound fresh ground turkey (fresh is needed as before I tried frozen ground and my meat was soupy), I used 16oz of black beans, I used Campbell's creamy tomato soup (Campbell's has discontinued creamy ranchero tomato soup I can only find it online), I used Wegman's whole grain tortilla chips. Note: I needed to spray my pan with cooking spray as my turkey began to stick also I recommend adding the chili seasoning after the turkey is cooked so you know the turkey is completely cooked. When I make this again I plan to use regular taco seasoning, and regular corn as my family thought this was way to spicy. I found this recipe in Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Slow Cooker Recipes cookbook. Note: If you don't have individual casseroles, spoon the mixture into a 2-quart casserole. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until hot.
