What You'll Need

3 cups cubed cooked turkey
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas, cooked and drained
1 cup (4 ounces) grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large fresh tomato, peeled and cut into 6 slices (see Note)
3/4 cup crushed potato chips

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, peas, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the onion, lime juice, seasonings, and mayonnaise, mix lightly. Spread in an ungreased 6- x10-inch baking dish and top with tomato slices.
Bake 25 minutes. Combine remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the potato chips, and sprinkle over top of casserole.
Bake 3 to 5 minutes more, or until cheese is melted.

Note

Here's an easy way to peel fresh tomatoes: Remove the stems, dip tomatoes in boiling water for about 15 seconds, then plunge them into cold water; the skins will slip off easily. But be careful: Don't burn yourself when removing the tomatoes from the boiling water.
