Approximate Calories per serving

*This can also be made with beef or any other kind of ground meat, but I think turkey is the healthiest
*Turkey comes in extra lean, lean, and regular. I find the extra lean too dry and prefer the lean. Regular has more fat.
**This can be made vegetarian! Just add more beans and take out the turkey.
***Feel free to change spice amounts or add more to taste! I like to start with less than recommended and add more as I go.
****Other delicious toppings include sliced cheddar or Mexican blend cheese, low fat sour cream or Greek yogurt depending on how many calories you can eat (or if you're feeding other people who don't have to worry about calories like my husband)
****This is also delicious over whole wheat pasta or brown rice! Again, for those who can have more calories.
