Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked turkey breast chopped or shredded
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 2/3 cup picante sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 15 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 large zucchini diced
  • 4 ounces sliced black olives chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 frozen deep dish pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the turkey, onion, garlic, picante sauce, cumin, salt, diced tomatoes, zucchini, olives and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.
    2 cups cooked turkey breast, 1 medium onion, 1 clove of garlic, 2/3 cup picante sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 15 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained, 1 large zucchini, 4 ounces sliced black olives, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Pour the mixture into a deep dish pie crust. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cornstarch and the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
    2 Tablespoons cornstarch, 1 frozen deep dish pie crust
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  1. I recommend baking this with a baking sheet under your pie crust to prevent spillage in your oven.
  2. To freeze: Complete through steps 3. Cover tightly and freeze. Remove from freezer and preheat oven. Bake until heated through.
