Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350.

2. Cook turkey and onion in nonstick skillet until browned, remove from heat, add cumin-beans.

3. Arrange half of chilies in 11x7" baking dish, top with 1/2 cup cheese. Spoon mounds of turkey on top, spread gently, leaving 1/4" border around edge of dish. Top with corn, then rest of chilies, then 1/2 cup cheese. Combine flour and salt, gradually whisk in milk-egg whites.

4. Pour over casserole, bake 1 hour and 5 mins, until set. Let stand 5 mins.

Notes: Good! Inadvertently used a bit more than a pound of ground turkey, rather than ½ pound, but the ratio worked well and it was a delicious, hearty, healthy, and filling meal. The milk/egg topping that went on top spread out to the edges, given the directive to leave a border around the filling - this was a little odd and I think next time I won't leave the border. Used lowfat shredded cheddar cheese instead of the colby-jack, and eggbeaters instead of the 2 whole eggs.
