This dish is a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas. This hearty Mexican-style casserole is chock-full of popular south-of-the-border ingredients including corn chips, salsa, Monterey Jack cheese and refried beans. It's a guaranteed family-pleaser.—Trudie Hagen, Roggen, Colorado

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

Easy and very good! I made this awhile ago with Thanksgiving leftovers. This is the perfect recipe when you have turkey left and you are tired of the gravy, mashed potato, stuffing type leftovers and want something a little spicy, yum! Added olives, cilantro and topped with taco sauce and sour cream!

This was awsome and very easy to prepare. Also didn't use turkey, but chicken instead. Added black olives to the top in place of onions and tomatoes, as my kids are not big fans of those.

I used non fat refried beans, & non fat cheese to "lighten" it up. Needed to cook it longer to get it good and hot. It was delicious.
