I made this for dinner last night- delicous and 30 grams of protein    The recipe is from Cooking Light.
 
I did not have any chili peppers so I just did not put that layer on the bottom.

Kat,
This sounds really good. I could substitute soy crumbles for the ground turkey and vegetarian beans and my vegetarian son and Dil would like it too!
