Ingredients
1/2 onion chopped1 tbs minced garlic1 20 oz pkg Jennie O extra lean ground turkey breast1 8 oz pkg fat free cream cheese2 cans Rotel tomatoes (lime and cilantro)2 cans Old El paso Green Enchelada sauce1 pkg Jumbo Pasta shells ( I used Barilla)1 pkg taco seasoning1 tsp ground cumin (optional)1 tsp ground corriander (optional)1 tsp cajun seasoning (optional)1 pkg Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Get large pot of water to rolling boil and add shells. While shells are cooking, spray skillet with a bit of no fat cooking spray and add chopped onions and garlic. Cook for a bit until starting to soften, then add ground turkey, and optional spices if you have them. Cook through until no longer pink then add 1 whole can Rotel with juice, drain second can well and add to pan. Add Taco seasoning and bring to a rolling boil. Add cream cheese and stir until melted and well blended. Turn filling off. When shells done cooking, remove from heat and rinse under cold water until ok to handle. Add half a can of enchelada sauce to bottom of 9x13 pan. Fill shells ( I could only fit 30 into my casserole) with turkey mixture and place in casserole. Top shells with remaining can and a half of enchilada sauce. Then top with cheese. Cover with foil and bake about 25 min until heated through and cheese melted.

     Holy Moly, these were delicious!!! We are some pansies when it comes to spiciness, so next time I think I'll only use 1 can of Rotel, plus one can of regular diced tomatoes. These are brilliant. Makes a HUGE batch, I had leftovers for lunch for a few days. - 1/25/14

     Loved this! But did my own version, 2 cans of canned chicken & red enchilada sauce. So easy! - 10/12/10

     The rotel caused it to be a little spicy. Recipe could have been shortened by using salsa instead of canned tomatoes and chopping onions etc. Made a ton! Good flavor! - 11/2/11

     These were very good and filling. My local markets didn't have fat free cream cheese or ff cheddar so I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and reduced fat cheddar. I recalculated the recipe using the fatter options and it increased the recipe to 231 calories per serving. I will make them again. - 3/7/20

     Made this with salsa rather than the Rotel tomatoes. Added a dash of cilantro and fresh lime jjice. Delish! - 4/12/17
  • INTHEMOMENT01
     This recipe is incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I used 2 pounds of turkey and it was plenty to make an extra 8x8 pan. I will be trying this with chicken. yum - 1/5/14

     A family member actually gave this recipe to me, and they are absolutely delicious. We like things a little spicy so we use hot taco seasoning and the optional spices to kick it up a notch. So glad somebody else figured the calories for me! :D Thanks! - 5/14/12

     Recipe sounds good, but without sizes on ingredients, is isn't much of a usable recipe. But that may be your reasoning. JUmbo shells come in two sizes of boxes, and Rotel tomatoes come in three sizes. - 11/9/20
