Before you can even say it, I’ll admit it…another ground turkey recipe…I know, I know…head hung.
BUT…this one is just too delicious (and easy) to pass up. This one is a hit with both the husband and the kids, and has officially replaced the go-to traditional enchilada casserole recipe that we got from a Mexican restaurant I worked for way back in the day (stay tuned for that recipe…it’s ridiculously good!!).
1 cup red quinoa (prepared as package states)
1 lb ground turkey (I add one package of taco seasoning)
1/2 c corn (I use white organic from Costco)
1/2 c black beans
1 avocado (chopped)
2 TBSP chopped cilantro
1 can mild enchilada sauce
1 can green chilies
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
3/4 c shredded mozzarella
3/4 c shredded cheddar
Mix all ingredients other than turkey and quinoa in small bowl.
Layer in casserole dish: quinoa, turkey, mixed ingredients, cheese.
Bake at 375˚ for 30 minutes.
Makes 4 servings. This is about 471 calories for 1 serving.
Enjoy!
