Description

Delicious, healthy comfort food. Yes, it really exists!

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds Ground Turkey, Extra Lean
  • 1 whole Onion, Chopped
  • 1 whole Red Pepper, Chopped
  • 1 whole Jalapeno Pepper, Seeds And Ribs Removed, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cumin
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Red Pepper (cayenne)
  • 5 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ⅔ cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
  • ¼ cups Crumbled Bacon
  • 1 whole Tomato, Chopped And Juice Drained
  • ½ cups Shredded Cheese (I Used Monterey Jack)
  • ¼ cups Thinly Sliced Green Onions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and a handful of the onions to the pan, sauteing until meat is browned. Remove turkey and set aside.

Coat pan with cooking spray. Add the remaining onion, pepper, and jalapeno, sauteing for 4 minutes and stirring occasionally. Add salt, cumin, red pepper, and garlic. Saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly (I added a tablespoon or two of water to keep things from sticking in the pan).

Stir in broth and black beans. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Mash beans to desired consistency.

Spoon mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with turkey, bacon, tomato, and cheese. Bake at 425ºF for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Top with green onions and let cool for atleast 10 minutes (otherwise it will be too runny). Serve with sour cream, tortilla chips, on tacos, on a salad, or just eat it plain!

Yum! Turned out I didn’t have all the ingredients, but even with kidney beans and canned tomatoes instead of peppers, I will definitely make this again… your way.

Really good!!!! I added some corn, cilantro, and lime juice from 2 limes. We ate this with warm corn tortillas. Sour cream really helped put this whole dish together for me! Will definitely make again. Really easy and simple and tasty!

My husband and I both loved this. Very flavorful, but not heavy. We served it up with some fresh salsa and quinoa tortilla chips, and it made for a great meal!

This is sooo good! One serving is only 4 WW points…I’ll take it! I mixed some sour cream with adobo sauce, and had the casserole with the sour cream and corn tortillas. DELICIOUS!
