On Sunday I prepped a Turkey Enchilada Casserole from Taste of Home so that I could just pop it in the oven when I got home from work. It was pretty tasty. My friend said it looks like GIANT nachos, and well, we all know that I do love my nachos!! This one will also be on our repeat list of new recipes!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 medium green pepper, chopped

- 12 corn tortillas (6 inches)
