Ingredients Amount Measure Ingredient 2 pounds ground turkey 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 1/2 teaspoons Spices, ground cumin 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon Paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) 2 tablespoons garlic minced 1 medium (2-1/2\" dia) white onion, diced 2 medium (approx 2-3/4 Green Bell Pepper, Diced 2 cups diced potato, peeled and diced 8 ounces salsa - 1 cup 1/2 cups Green chiles, 4 oz canned chopped, drained 2 cans (2 oz) black olives, sliced, drained 1 cup tomatoes canned, diced, drained 2 medium egg, beaten Steps Sequence Step 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 2 In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey. While it''s browning, add in all of the spices, minced garlic and white onion and incorporate well with the turkey. 3 While it''s browning, add the green peppers, potatoes, salsa, green chilies, black olives and diced tomatoes to a large casserole dish. 4 Once the turkey is mostly browned, transfer it to a strainer and strain out all of the excess grease. Let it sit for a few minutes to ensure it''s all drained out. 5 Then, transfer the taco meat and onion mixture into the casserole dish, add the beaten eggs, use a large spoon to stir in with the other ingredients. Once it''s well combined and evenly distributed, place it in the oven and bake for 45 minutes-1 hour, or until the potatoes are baked all the way through when pierced with fork. 6 Remove from the oven and serve on a bed of greens like a taco salad, and/or top with avocado/guacamole, pico, shredded lettuce, more black olives, sliced jalapeno, sour cream (dairy-free version for paleo/Whole 30). 7 NOTES: Make sure to drain the canned items very well before adding into the casserole dish. You can omit the eggs, it''s used as a binder here to help hold it together but can easily be left out. This is also a great chip dip (with chips, or with bell peppers thickly sliced) - trust!
