Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Ground Turkey:
   • In a large skillet, cook the lean ground turkey (or beef) over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

   • Pour the salsa over the turkey mixture and spread it evenly.
7. Spread Yogurt and Cheese:
   • In a bowl, mix fat-free Greek yogurt (or fat-free sour cream) with half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Spread this mixture over the salsa layer.
8. Top with Cheese:
   • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
9. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
