Turkey (or Chicken) Taco Bake

Submitted by Hey Jude

"I found this in a TOH magazine and tried it out because I could clean out my fridge of a bunch of odds and ends. It ended up being a hit with my family so I'm posting it. I changed a few things from the original as I made with what I had on hand. This is easy, quick, cheap and, best of all, delicious!"

You and I obviously have the same magazine subscription!! My family absolutely loves this too -- easy, tasty, and a great way to use up lots of leftovers!!!!

This was reletively simple to make and it tasted great. We omitted the tomatos on top and accidently used an entire packet of taco seasoning on the shredded chicken, but we really enjoyed it and will definately make it again!
