The Great After-Thanksgiving Turkey Enchiladas

The Great After-Thanksgiving Turkey Enchiladas


1. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large saucepan over medium heat.

2. Add 1 1/2 cups onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Add enchilada sauce, tomatoes, and chipotles (or green chiles).

4. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring often.

5. Stir in 1/2 cup cilantro.

6. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

7. In a medium bowl, mix turkey, 1 1/2 cups cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup onions and 1/2 cup cilantro (I don't add raw onions here, I usually saute all of them for the sauce). Season with salt and pepper.

8. Preheat oven to 350°F.

9. Spread 1/2 cup sauce in a 13x9-inch glass baking dish.

10. Using a microwave-safe plate, alternate the tortillas with a damp (not soaking wet) paper towel (I usually microwave 6 tortillas at a time) for approximately 40 seconds on high.

11. Fill the warmed tortillas (they should be pliable enough that they don't break when you fold them) with 1/4 cup turkey mixture in center and fold the tortilla so that the edges overlap forming a seam. Place the tortilla in the baking dish with the seam side down.

12. Spoon 2 1/2 cups sauce over enchiladas.

13. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese.

14. Bake enchiladas until heated through, about 30 minutes.

15. Rewarm remaining sauce in saucepan over medium-low heat. Serve with enchiladas.
