Ingredients

    2 spray(s) cooking spray
    2 large uncooked Yukon Gold potato(es), boiled or steamed whole, drained and cooled
    1 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced (medium)
    1 small onion(s), chopped
    1 small green pepper(s), chopped
    1 cup(s) mushroom(s), sliced
    1 pound(s) uncooked ground turkey breast
    1/8 tsp Durkee Ground Cumin Seed, or other brand
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
    2 oz Kraft Velveeta Light Reduced-Fat Pasteurized Processed Cheese Product, or similar product, cubed
    1/4 cup(s) low-fat evaporated milk
    1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.

Peel and thinly slice potatoes; layer in prepared baking dish. Bake potatoes until slightly crisp, about 10 minutes; remove baking dish from oven and set aside.

While potatoes are baking, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat; add garlic, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes; remove to a plate, cover to keep warm and set aside. Add turkey to skillet; cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cooked vegetables, cumin, salt and pepper to turkey and stir to combine; spread mixture over potatoes in baking dish.

In a small microwave safe bowl, combine cheese product, evaporated milk and crushed red pepper flakes; cover and microwave on high power until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon melted cheese over turkey. Bake for 35 minutes; remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.
