Ingredients

• 1 lb Lean ground turkey (93% lean)
• 2 tsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 15-oz can Diced tomatoes (no salt added)
• 1 8-oz can Tomato sauce (no salt added)
• 2 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 10 small Corn tortillas
• 1.5 cups Reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
• 1 15-oz can Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to develop the flavors.

Step 5

While the turkey mixture simmers, prepare the corn tortillas by slicing them into quarters.

Step 6

To assemble the casserole, spread a thin layer of the turkey mixture on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Layer 1/3 of the tortilla pieces over the sauce, followed by 1/3 of the turkey mixture, 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn, and 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat this process two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions for added freshness.
