Low Fat Turkey Tex Mex

2 packages Jennie O Extra Lean Ground Turkey
1 large can of fat free refried beans
2 packages Taco Bell low sodium seasoning
Low fat shredded cheese
Low fat or fat free sour cream
Pickled jalapeños
Directions

Brown the meat, then add the seasoning packages and water according to package directions.

I portion out the meat into 10 small containers, add a scoop of beans, sour cream, cheese and a few jalapenos. I microwave it for about a minute and a half. I also like this as a salad on top of shredded lettuce.
