Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 cups shredded cooked turkey breast

  • 1 ½ cups sour cream, divided

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar chunky, mild green chile salsa, divided

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mild Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Mix shredded turkey with 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 package Cheddar cheese, and 1/2 package of Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl until well combined. Fill tortillas evenly with turkey mixture, roll up into enchiladas, and place in a 9x13-inch pan.

Cook’s Note

Feel free to substitute dark turkey meat or a combination of dark and white meat for the turkey breast.

You can use a spicier salsa if desired, and Colby Jack or pepper Jack in place of Monterey Jack.
