When you need to do something with the leftover Turkey, think about doing this. Very easy and VERY delicious. It's so wonderful! Something you can to do as a family is get together the day after Thanksgiving and do this all together! I have made this so many ways, filled them with chicken, beef and even sea scallops! It's truly amazing. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed turkey (slightly shredded)
  • 3 cups monterey & colby jack shredded cheese blend, or mexican shredded cheese
  • 1 medium yellow onion

How To Make scrumptious turkey enchiladas

  • Step 1
    Diced and slightly shred 4 cups Turkey. White or dark meat is okay. I used both. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 2
    Dice up your onion. <-----This is how I do mine. criss cross cuts not going all the way through your onion but close to the end without cutting in half.
  • Step 3
    Add this to your meat along with one cup of shredded cheese and your broth. set aside.
  • Step 4
    warm up a few corn tortillas at a time (about three), wrapped in a paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds. The reason for this is because you don't want your corn tortillas to crack when folding. Pour your enchilada sauce in a pie dish. Dip one side of your corn tortilla in the enchilada sauce.
  • Step 5
    lightly spray (cooking spray) a 9 x 13 casserole dish (or disposable tin) sauce side down.
  • Step 6
    Fill with your turkey filling and roll up. slide it to the side and repeat until your dish fills up.
  • Step 7
    Pour more enchilada sauce on top after your tray is full.
  • Step 8
    Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake in 350 oven until everything heats up and your cheese is melted on top.
