9" Pyrex Baking Dish
non-stick cooking spray
large, non-stick skillet
Medium sized bowl
cheese grater
Spoon or spatula
- 1 8 ounce tube Crescent Rolls
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 ¼ pounds Ground Turkey Meat See Tips
- 1 1.4 ounce package Taco Seasoning Mix
- 4 ounce can Green Chili's, diced, mild
- 1 ½ cups Salsa, mild or medium, chunky style
- ½ cup Water
- 1 15 ounce can Refried Beans
- 1 ½ cups Cheddar Cheese, grated
- ½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half or quarters, juices removed by lightly squeezing
- ¼ cup Green Onion, sliced thin
- ½ cup Sour Cream, for serving
- 1 cup Iceberg Lettuce, shredded, for serving
- You'll use 1 and a quarter pounds of ground meat in this recipe, which is generally the weight of pre-packaged ground turkey.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and if they are on the large side, slice them again. Squeeze out most of the juice gently with your hands before adding them to the pie. Why? Extra liquid will make the pie soggy.
- Always grate your own cheese from a block instead of buying pre-shredded, which is treated with preservatives so they don't clump in the plastic bag they come in. Which also means it doesn't melt as well.
- When it's ready for the oven, set the dish on a large baking sheet. This makes it easier to pull out of the oven after it's baked.
