Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

In a large high-sided skillet, add ground turkey and onions and season with salt and pepper. (I use a non-stick skillet. If you don’t, you might want to add a teaspoon or two of olive oil.) Cook, breaking up ground turkey, until turkey is cooked through and browned.

Step 3

Add to a 9×13 casserole dish and add all other ingredients except cheese. Stir to combine. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 75 minutes to 90 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove foil, add cheese and bake for about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
