Introduction

This was a recent recipe in Taste of Homes "Healthy Cooking" that I revamped to make even lighter and healthier. I substituted ground turkey for the beef and used fat free sour cream and cheese instead of reduced fat, which cut 90 calories from their light version. The results were fabulous and a hit with my whole family. Proof that low fat can taste good!
