Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish. Cook the Ground Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Add Aromatics and Seasoning: Add finely diced onions and minced garlic to the turkey, sautéing until the onions are translucent. Stir in the taco seasoning, ensuring the meat is well-coated and flavorful. Incorporate Beans and Veggies: Mix in black beans, corn kernels, diced bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes, creating a vibrant and nutritious base for your casserole. Layer in the Casserole Dish: Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese over the turkey mixture, creating a gooey and savory layer that adds richness to the casserole. Bake to Perfection: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Prepare Toppings: While the casserole bakes, prepare the fresh toppings by chopping lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, and avocado. Assemble the Casserole: Once out of the oven, let the casserole cool slightly before adding the fresh toppings. Top with Fresh Ingredients: Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, and avocado slices over the baked casserole, creating a vibrant and texturally diverse dish. Creamy Finish: Dollop non-fat Greek yogurt or light sour cream over the toppings, adding a creamy and tangy element that complements the savory flavors. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the casserole with sliced jalapeños, salsa, or pico de gallo for an optional kick of heat and freshness.
