A flavorful and hearty casserole with a southwestern twist, perfect for family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the casserole.
In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned. Add taco seasoning and water as per the packet instructions, then set aside.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey into small pieces for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the chopped onion. Mix well and set aside.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and well-blended for an even layer.
Prepare the biscuit dough according to the package instructions. Press the dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Use your hands or a spatula to evenly spread the dough.
In the same skillet, sauté the remaining onion and green bell pepper until softened.
Cook until the vegetables are fragrant and slightly tender.
Layer the cooked turkey, tomato slices, sautéed vegetables, and creamy mixture over the biscuit base. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Layer evenly to ensure each bite has a mix of flavors.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuit base are golden brown.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Southwestern Layered Casserole!
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
