Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey

- 1 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup cooked rice or pasta
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt pepper, paprika to taste
- 1 cup canned reduced sodium black beans drained and rinsed
- ¾ cup corn kernels
- ¼ cup minced cilantro
Instructions
Warm Up the Oven First
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. While it’s heating, lightly coat an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray so everything’s ready when the filling comes together.
Brown the Turkey and Onions
- In a large nonstick skillet, drizzle in olive oil and set it over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and onions, stirring and breaking the meat apart until no longer pink.
Let the Spices Come Alive
- Toss in garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about a minute to let the flavors bloom—your kitchen will smell incredible.
Fold in Colorful Goodness Together
- Take the skillet off the heat. Stir in rice, green chiles, diced tomatoes, salsa, black beans, corn, and fresh cilantro. The mixture becomes a hearty, colorful filling.
Spread, Top, and Prepare to Bake
- Transfer everything into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a generous layer of cheese over the top—it’s what makes the bake irresistible.
Bake Until Bubbly and Golden
- Slide the dish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until it’s hot through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
