Meat, cheese, potatoes—we layered these favourite ingredients into a flavourful casserole. Sort of like a deconstructed cheeseburger and fries.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

2 spray(s)

Yukon gold potato

2 large, boiled or steamed whole, drained and cooled

Garlic

1 clove(s), large, minced

Onion

1 small, chopped

Green bell pepper

1 small, chopped

Mushrooms

1 cup(s), sliced

Uncooked 99% fat-free ground turkey breast

1 pound(s)

Cumin seeds

tsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Black pepper

pinch(es), freshly ground

Cold-pack American cheese food

2 oz, cubed

Low-fat evaporated milk

¼ cup(s)

Crushed red pepper flakes

¼ gm

Tortilla chips

8 chip(s), crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Peel and thinly slice potatoes; layer in prepared baking dish. Bake potatoes until slightly crisp, about 10 minutes; remove baking dish from oven and set aside.
  3. While potatoes are baking, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat; add garlic, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes; remove to a plate, cover to keep warm and set aside. Add turkey to skillet; cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cooked vegetables, cumin, salt and pepper to turkey and stir to combine; spread mixture over potatoes in baking dish.
  4. In a small microwave safe bowl, combine cheese product, evaporated milk and crushed red pepper flakes; cover and microwave on high power until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon melted cheese over turkey and sprinkle with tortilla chips. Bake for 35 minutes; remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.
