Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large skillet and set it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add in the ground turkey, along with the grated carrots, dried minced onion, diced jalapeno, half of the taco seasoning, and a sprinkle of kosher salt.
Step 4
Cook this delightful mixture, stirring often, until the turkey is beautifully browned and no longer pink.
Step 5
Next, pour in some water and add a few dashes of hot garlic-pepper sauce for a little kick.
Step 6
Stir in the rest of the taco seasoning and let it simmer until the water has evaporated, allowing those flavors to meld together perfectly.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cream of chicken soup, and shredded queso quesadilla cheese.
Step 8
Mix them until they’re well blended and creamy—this will be your delicious cheesy layer.
Step 9
Now, let’s assemble! On a clean surface, lay out a tortilla and spoon some of that savory turkey mixture onto it, placing it about halfway between the bottom edge and the center.
Step 10
Top it off with 2 to 3 tablespoons of your cheesy mixture.
Step 11
Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom edge to the top, creating a lovely cylinder.
Step 12
Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in a 7x11 inch baking dish.
Step 13
Keep going until you’ve used up all the tortillas and filling—your dish is going to look fantastic! Now, take the remaining cheese mixture and blend it with the red enchilada sauce.
Step 14
Pour this luscious sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, making sure to cover them well.
Step 15
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted to perfection.
Step 16
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting, cheesy meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table! Enjoy every bite!.
