This was sooo good and pretty simple to put together. My DS helped stir it
and cook the turkey. He is a good helper in the kitchen and enjoys helping
me. I am determined to teach him enough about cooking that he can be
self-sufficient as a bachelor! Wow the girls with his culinary techniques!

Anyway, this one is easy and very good.

   1      tsp           salt
   1      tsp           garlic powder
     1/8  cup           taco seasoning mix
   8                    whole wheat tortillas
   1      cup           monterey jack cheese -- shredded
   1      cup           cheddar cheese -- shredded
                        Garnish:
                        reduced fat sour cream
                        scallions (white & green parts) -- chopped
                        cilantro -- chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large skillet, cook ground turkey until browned. Drain off fat. Stir in
refried beans, chile pepper, pureed tomatoes, water, taco seasoning mix and
all other seasonings. Bring to boil; reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 10
minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the skillet
and scorch.

Grease a 2 qt rectangular baking dish. Arrange four tortillas in the bottom
of dish, overlapping and trimming as necessary. Spoon half of turkey mixture
over tortillas in the dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat layers
with remaining tortillas and remaining turkey mixture. Bake at 350°F,
uncovered, for 20 minutes. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for another 10
minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes. Top with
sour cream, scallions and cilantro, if desired.

Makes 8 servings.
