Description

A creamy, cheesy, flavor-packed way to use leftover turkey, these enchiladas are quick to prepare and incredibly satisfying. Perfect for post-holiday meals or a cozy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups shredded leftover turkey

1 cup sour cream

1 can green chilies

8 flour tortillas

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Optional: chopped cilantro, salsa, lime wedges


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.

2. In a bowl, mix turkey, sour cream, green chilies, and 1 cup of cheese.

3. Spoon mixture into tortillas, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.

4. Top with remaining cheese and cilantro if using.

5. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

6. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve with salsa and lime wedges.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.

Add leftover turkey gravy inside the enchiladas for deeper flavor.

Pairs wonderfully with cornbread stuffing on the side.
