Spicy Cheesy Turkey Bake

~ 1 tablespoon olive oil
~ 1 medium onion, chopped
~ 2 cloves garlic, minced
~ 3 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
~ ½ teaspoon salt
~ ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
~ 2 tablespoons chili powder
~ 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
~ 1 package lean or extra lean ground turkey (1 ¼ pounds)
~ 1 can Rotel tomatoes
~ 1 ½ cups shredded reduced fat Colby jack cheese

Heat Broiler.

In a 10-inch oven proof skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion, cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin and turkey to skillet. Cook until browned, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Rotel and bring to a boil. Drain excess liquid from pan. Sprinkle cheese over top and broil on high until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

We make burrito bowls with this - putting a scoop of the turkey mixture on top of shredded lettuce and black beans, and top it with sour cream, salsa, and sliced black olives.

Yum!
