Taco Casserole with a little something extra

Beau Brummel made Taco Casserole tonight and I convinced him to add a few extra things to step up the fiber and vegetable content. Most of you have probably had it or think it doesn't sound good, but it was really yummy. Jedi, who hates beans, olives, tomatoes and chilies ate it and loves it. This recipe is a great way to use a lot of food storage items: wheat, beans, dehydrated corn, and Taco Seasoning.

1 1/2 lbs. super lean ground turkey

1 packet Taco Seasoning 

1 1/2 c tomato sauce or chopped tomatoes
