Turkey Nacho Bake

We had this for the second time last night and loved it even more.  It's kind of junk food, I'll admit, but I suppose if you used baked chips and nonfat beans and cheese it wouldn't be too bad! For the printable recipe on allrecipes.com, click here.  

Turkey Nacho Bake

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
• 1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
• 1 (14.5 ounce) package tortilla chips
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
• 1 ripe tomato, diced
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, begin to brown the ground turkey. Stir in garlic, pepper, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon chives. Stir in 1 tablespoon hot sauce. When the turkey is browned, stir in taco seasoning mix according to package instructions.
3. Pour the beans into a microwave safe bowl, and heat in the microwave until softened. Stir in 1 tablespoon chives and 1 tablespoon hot sauce.
4. Spread the tortilla chips across the bottom of a baking sheet. Spoon the beans mixture over the chips. Then spread the turkey mixture across the top. Sprinkle cheese, then olives, tomatoes, green onions, and remaining 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes over the top.
5. Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes
