Being inordinately fond of one dish meals, casseroles and the like, I couldn't resist this one...and lightening it up just made it better! Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups instant potato flakes |
1/2 cup water |
1 1/2 cups low-fat sour cream |
1 lb ground turkey breast or 1 lb ground chicken breast |
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 cup water |
1 tablespoon dried onion |
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce |
1 (12 ounce) can whole kernel corn (del monte preferred) |
1 teaspoon salt (optional) |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1 cup cheddar cheese, diced |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 2. In a 13 X 9 baking pan, combine the potato flakes, sour cream and the first 1/2 cup of water. 3. Pat the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. 4. Brown the ground turkey in the oil. 5. Add to the browned meat, the 2nd 1/2 cup water, dried onion, tomato sauce, kernel corn, salt and oregano. 6. Spoon this mixture over the potato mixture that you earlier pressed into the baking pan. 7. Sprinkle the diced cheese over all; bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 25-30 minute. |
