My family likes these enchiladas so much that they request a turkey dinner several times a year just so I'll make this dish with the leftovers. I usually double it because I feed three growing boys-two teenagers and my husband! -Beverly Matthews, Pasco, Washington

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups shredded roast turkey (smoked turkey is fabulous in this recipe!)
2 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups grated monterey jack cheese
2 (7 ounce) cans salsa verde (look for Herdez brand) or 1 (13 ounce) can tomatillos (look for Herdez brand)
2 -4 tablespoons canned chopped green jalapenos, drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the turkey, green onions, cream cheese, and 1 cup of the Jack cheese. Set aside.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the salsa verde or tomatillos, chiles, cilantro, and cream. Blend until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy, 6-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Using tongs, carefully place 1 tortilla at a time in the hot oil, and leave it in for 5 to 10 seconds until softened. Turn the tortilla over and soften the other side.
  • Drain over the skillet; then place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Place another paper towel on top and press to absorb the oil.
  • Repeat until all 8 tortillas are softened and drained.
  • Place one-eighth (about 1/2 cup) of the turkey mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place, seam-side down, in a 7 1/2-by-11-inch baking pan.
  • Pour the salsa verde-cream sauce over the enchiladas, and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of Jack cheese down the center.
