Leftovers Recipe: Easy Cream And Salsa Turkey Enchiladas

This recipe makes it easy to use up those last few scraps of turkey. You're probably tired of turkey sandwiches and turkey soup by now, so why not shake things up a bit and add some Mexican flavor? These are super fast and easy to put together, so they work great for a quick meal when you don't feel like cooking (and who does, after last week??)...

Easy Cream And Salsa Turkey Enchiladas
(Serves 6-8.)

Ingredients:

3 cups leftover turkey, shredded
2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp chopped green onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
12 corn tortillas
1 jar (16 oz) good salsa (your favorite)

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the turkey, sour cream, cheese, onion, and salt.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Put a tortilla in and fry until hot and browned slightly, turn and fry the other side, then put on plate, cover with foil, and fry second tortilla.  Continue until all tortillas are fried, making sure to keep foil on them all to keep them warm and moist.
  • Lay a tortilla on a work surface and spoon turkey mixture in the middle, the length of the tortilla, then roll up, and lay in baking dish seam side down. Continue until all 12 tortillas are filled and rolled and in baking dish.
  • Pour salsa evenly over the top then put in oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • (Optional: remove from oven and add more Cheddar cheese on top, then bake 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.)
