Making Turkey Taco Pie

Gotta love that cheese. It’s like the glue for the pie, making it all come together.

Bake your pie at 375* for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly.

Remove from oven and let cool. Slice it up in pie shaped slices and add sour cream, salsa, and some cilantro to top.

Yield: 4-6 servings
