Blue Ribbon Recipe

Even if you're not a fan of ground turkey, you'll enjoy this easy weeknight meal. Between the taco seasoning, tomatoes with chiles, and salsa, this casserole has lots of flavor. Tortilla chips on top add a nice crunch. Using ground turkey makes this satisfying without being greasy or heavy.
