Labor Day weekend cooking special: Turkey Enchilada Casserole

[tuftears]

I've been trying to avoid cheese and other fatty foods except in small quantities, so I've been convinced until now that I couldn't even think of making a casserole, but recently articles I've read suggest that a small amount is reasonably healthy. So, I ran a Google search for "healthy casserole recipes" and found one that looks promising.

Turkey Enchilada Casserole.

I followed the instructions mostly, but it looked a little light on veggies, so instead of one of the cans of black beans, I chopped up and sauteed a 16 oz. pack of carrots first, so that they'd be properly tender. Worked out great IMO!

It's a Mexican version of lasagna. So good I had seconds. };9

Yea, lots of cheese is obviously lots tasty, but, diet, health. ^_^ Also, the carrots merge in surprisingly well with the casserole, you just have to make sure to cook them first and long enough (like 10 mins?) so they get softened up properly, to about the same consistency as the black beans.
