Golden Turkey Enchiladas
Golden Turkey Enchiladas are cheesy, flavorful Mexican-inspired dishes featuring tender turkey rolled in tortillas with a creamy chili sauce, perfect for a hearty family meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine soup, sour cream, chilies, and salt. Reserve 3/4 cup sauce and mix the rest with the turkey or chicken and 1/2 cup cheese.
- Slightly fry the tortillas in heated vegetable oil, one at a time. Fill each tortilla with the meat mixture while still hot.
- Roll up the tortillas and place seam side down in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Combine the reserved sauce with milk and pour over the rolled tortillas.
- Bake, covered, at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chopped green onions while hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or chili powder to the meat mixture. If you don’t have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt is a great substitute. You can also swap out the turkey for shredded rotisserie chicken to save time. For a bit of heat, try using spicy green chilies.
Serving Suggestions
These Golden Turkey Enchiladas pair beautifully with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh green salad. For added freshness, serve with sliced avocado or a dollop of guacamole. A drizzle of sour cream on top can enhance the dish, and for a complete meal, consider serving them alongside Texas Style Tortilla Soup.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the enchiladas in a baking dish covered with foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual servings.
