Mexicali Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb ground turkey
    1 (16 ounce) bag shredded fat free cheese (your choice)
    1 onion, chopped
    1 green pepper, chopped
    1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn
    1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
    1 (16 ounce) jar picante sauce (I prefer pace's)
    1 (16 ounce) container fat free sour cream
    1 (6 1/2 ounce) package Mexican cornbread mix
    2/3 cup skim milk
Preparation
    Start browning meat in a large skillet adding the chopped onion and green pepper-drain excess fat.
    After browning meat, stir in taco seasoning mix, corn (non-drained), and entire jar of picante sauce.
    Simmer mixture on med heat approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    While meat is simmering, preheat oven to 375\u00b0F.
    Mix Mexican cornbread mix and your 2/3 cup milk in a medium mixing bowl; set aside. Pour about 1/2 of mixture into 9-inch casserole dish then cover with 1/2 bag of shredded cheese. Repeat-layering the two cover top with cornbread mixture-spreading over entire casserole.
    Bake in oven for approximately 25 minutes or until brown.
    Cool for 5 minutes then serve.
    Add sour cream to taste.
