Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • ½ pound ground wild turkey
  • 4 bell peppers
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • ½ cup water, separated
  • ½ cup chopped red bell peppers
  • ½ cup frozen corn
  • ½ cup Original Rotel tomatoes
  • ½ cup black olives
  • Half package taco seasonings
  • 1 cup shredded Colby jack cheese
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a pan, combine wild turkey, salt, pepper, ¼ cup of water and cook until water is evaporated, breaking up ground turkey into small pieces.

3. Transfer meat to a bowl, and combine with ½ cup of diced red bell pepper, ½ cup of frozen corn, ½ cup of Rotel tomatoes, ½ cup of black olives, half package of taco seasoning, shredded cheese and ¼ cup of water.
