Introduction

Carly Rules...My coworker had an awesome recipe that I wanted to try...but of course had to change it up to lower the fat...since I gain 5 pounds just LOOKING at food...
These work out to be 1.5 WW point per shell or 3 points per serving (2 shells). Carly Rules...My coworker had an awesome recipe that I wanted to try...but of course had to change it up to lower the fat...since I gain 5 pounds just LOOKING at food...

Number of Servings: 15

Ingredients

1/2 onion chopped

1 tbs minced garlic

1 20 oz pkg Jennie O extra lean ground turkey breast

1 8 oz pkg fat free cream cheese

2 cans Rotel tomatoes (lime and cilantro)

2 cans Old El paso Green Enchelada sauce

1 pkg Jumbo Pasta shells ( I used Barilla)

1 pkg taco seasoning

1 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

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

Bad

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

I haven't tried it yet but it looks delicious. It might be a bit too spicy for me so I may need to use part regular diced tomatoes instead of Rotel, but everyone else would love it as is. I can't wait to try it. - 1/22/20

I tried it and it's not bad. The one thing I chose to add is Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. Not much, about a teaspoon. I always share to make sure you season to your own taste. The number of seasonings in any recipe can be added to, or don't add so much. This is quite tasty though. - 12/6/19

Made half a recipe as there are only three of us. Only changes I made was ground beef for turkey as that is what I had and I added some fresh cilantro to the mix. It was very good. Had to bake a bit longer to get bubbly. I would add some spice to the mix in the future, but husband liked it as is - 3/1/15
