Categories     turkey

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 T olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 serrano chiles, stemmed and minced
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 6 oz can tomato paste
6 cups cooked black beans, drained if canned
2 T chile powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 habanero chile, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 28 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
2 T blackstrap molasses
1 7 1/2 oz bag of blue corn chips, finely crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F. In a large pot over medium flame, heat the oil. Add the onion, chiles and turkey, and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute longer. Add remaining ingredients except the chips, and stir well to combine. Cover, and cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Spoon mixture into a casserole dish, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle crushed chips evenly over the top of the casserole and serve

Tips:

  • Use leftover turkey: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Overcooked turkey will become dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for three types of beans: black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. You can use other types of beans if you like, such as navy beans, great northern beans, or chickpeas.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to this casserole. You can use any vegetables you like, such as corn, carrots, celery, or onions.
  • Season to taste: This recipe is a good starting point, but you may need to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder if you like.

Conclusion:

This turkey bean casserole is a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey. Serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, or bread.
