Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey breast
12 oz No Yolks egg noodles
10 oz red enchilada sauce 1 can
1 onion small
5 ounces light cream cheese
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend shredded, or Monterey Jack
4 oz. diced green chiles 1 can
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprays Nonstick cooking spray or a sprinkle of olive oil
cilantro optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish with non stick cooking spray.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and place back into the large pot. Set aside.
Dice the onion into small pieces and cook in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the onions start getting a clear, glassy look.
Add your ground turkey and cook until it is no longer pink and completely cooked through. Turn off heat.
Add the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Mix to combine.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and enchilada sauce to the large pot with the noodles. Combine until everything melts.
Add the turkey mixture to the large pot. At this time you'll also add the green chiles and mix everything to combine.
Pour the turkey mixture into the bottom of the dish and sprinkle the top with the cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted. Remove and cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Instead of buying all those separate spices, you can just by a package of taco seasoning and use 1 1/4 teaspoon(s) or more depending on how much spice you like.
