Subject: Mexican Casserole

1/2 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 envelope taco seasoning (low-sodium, if available)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies, drained
16 corn tortillas, cut into wedges
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
1 (16 oz.) can refried beans (use fat-free)
1 (7 oz.) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained
Salsa
Low-fat sour cream

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat and cook onions till translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute. Then add turkey and cook until browned, breaking into small pieces, as you go. Add the taco seasoning according to package directions, mixing well and allowing to simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the chilies and set aside.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 10" pie plate. Place one fourth of the tortilla pieces on the bottom of the pie plate (till covered). Spread with half of the turkey mixture; sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Place another one-fourth of the tortillas on cheese; spread with beans. Place yet another one fourth of the tortillas on beans; top with roasted peppers. And finally, place the remaining tortillas on the roasted peppers and spread with remaining turkey mixture. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Cover and bake 30-40 minutes or until cheese is melted and center is hot. Let sit 10 minutes before cutting into your masterpiece. This can be served with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
