Taco Turkey Pot Pies

Ingredients:

9 inch pie crust
1/2 lb. lean ground turkey
1/2 red onion, chopped
15 oz. can black beans, rinsed
14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes
1 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. taco seasoning
shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese

Brown the turkey and onions in a large saucepan until the turkey is fully cooked and the onions are soft. Add the tomatoes, chili powder, taco seasoning and beans. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Using a Bella mini pie maker, cut out the pie circles following the instructions in the book (they give you a gadget with the pie maker that makes this very easy). Preheat the machine. When the green light turns on, place the bottom pie crusts down into the molds and using the same tool you made the circles with, press down into the crust. Fill the molds with the taco turkey mixture to the top. Do not heap the filling or over fill because it will end up going everywhere the top is pressed down. Sprinkle each with cheddar cheese. Place the top crust on and close the lid. This will literally take less then 4 minutes to cook! I love this kitchen gadget!

If you do not have the mini pie maker, this recipe makes a great taco turkey chili! Just omit the pie crust from the recipe, serve in bowls, and top with cheddar cheese!
