Mexican Casserole with Leftover Turkey

Mexican Casserole with Leftover Turkey

I made this Mexican turkey casserole for my family the day after Thanksgiving. They gobbled it up. Lol.
It’s a great change of pace from reheating leftovers, for those who love Mexican food.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups shredded cooked turkey

  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, cumin, salt, and pepper. Saute until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add black beans, shredded turkey, 1 cup salsa, corn, water, and taco seasoning. Mix well. Cover and simmer until flavors meld, about 5 minutes.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
