Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 8 small (6-inch) Flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 0.5 cup (optional, for serving) Sour cream
- 0.5 cup (optional, for garnish) Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (optional, for garnish) Jalapeño slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the taco seasoning packet and 1/4 cup of water (or as directed on the packet). Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the turkey mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, turkey mixture, and cheese.
Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, jalapeño slices, or sour cream if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Super Turkey Enchiladas!
