Ingredients:

– 3 cups shredded cooked turkey

– 1 medium onion, chopped

– 1 bell pepper, chopped

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)

– 2 cups shredded cheese (we recommend a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack)

– 8 large flour tortillas

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– Optional toppings: avocado slices, sour cream, jalapeño slices, cilantro

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until they’re softened and slightly browned (about five minutes).

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

4. Add the shredded turkey to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about three minutes until heated through.

5. Pour one cup of the enchilada sauce into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

6. Place one tortilla onto a flat surface. Spread a layer of shredded cheese along the center of the tortilla, followed by some of the cooked turkey mixture (use about one-eighth of your total filling).

7. Roll up the filled tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish on top of the sauce. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas until you’ve created all eight enchiladas.

8. Pour the remaining cup of enchilada sauce evenly over your arranged enchiladas, making sure they are completely covered.

9. Top the dish with the remaining shredded cheese and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

10. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven’s temperature to 400°F (200°C). Continue baking for an additional five to ten minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

11. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Add optional toppings (avocado slices, sour cream, jalapeño slices, cilantro) as desired and enjoy your delicious turkey enchiladas!
