6 canned whole green chilies, halved and seeded (can use a hotter chili if desired)

1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt

EASY! This recipe is really simple and healthy! If you want it to have practically no fat, just use less or no cheese.

Turkey Ziti

1 package of noodles (ziti type)
1 can of sauce
1 can of tomatoes (seasoned italian style)
1 package of ground turkey (or ground beef if you want)
1-2 packages of part-skim mozzarella, grated

Boil the pasta and brown the turkey. After the turkey is cooked, break it up so it's smaller pieces. Drain the pasta, then combine the pasta, turkey, can of sauce, can of tomatoes, and bag of cheese in a big bowl and mix. Pour into a glass pan.. 9 x 13? Sprinkle some more cheese on top. Bake for 30-45 minutes until the cheese bubbles. YUM!
