This Cazuela de Pavo y Queso is a comforting, cheesy delight that will warm your heart and satisfy your cravings!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 175 degrees Celsius).
In a pan, cook the ground turkey over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until fully browned.
Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno to the turkey and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Stir in the spices, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a baking dish, layer 3 tortillas at the bottom, then add half of the turkey mixture on top, followed by 1 cup of cheese.
Repeat the layers with 3 more tortillas, the remaining turkey mixture, and top it with the remaining cheese.
Spread sour cream evenly over the top layer of cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the cheese get golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
