Baked Turkey and Jack Cheese Chimichangas

Rated a five star recipe in the Lovell house.....we've served this to friends and family to rave reviews. One of our favorites:

2 sprays cooking spray
1/2 pound lean ground turkey
16 oz. fat-free canned refried beans
1 3/4 cups salsa
4 1/2 oz. canned green chili peppers, mild, drained and diced
1 tsp chili powder
3 Tbsp scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack Cheese
8 larg burrito-size wheat flour tortillas
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream

Pre-heat oven to 350. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Brown Turkey in the skillet. Drain any excess liquid from pan and then add beans, 1 3/4 cups salsa, chili peppers, chili powder and scallions. Cook until heated through. Stir in cheese.

Assemble chimichangas by spooning about 1/2 cup of the turkey mixture onto each tortilla. fold in sides and roll up.
Place chimichangas, seam-side down, in baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until tortillas are crisp and browned, about 20 minutes. Serve each topped with 2 Tablespoons of salsa and 1 Tablespoon of sour cream.

This is 8 servings at 5 points per serving

ENJOY!
