TURKEY/CHICKEN CHILAQUILES CASSEROLE
This is my daughters favorite recipe for leftover turkey. I love it too! Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you. It seems time consuming but it does go together quickly once you have everything ready. I got it out of an old cookbook magazine called Fresh Turkey Ideas. We really look forward to Thanksgiving just to have this as our traditional left over. Hope you enjoy!

TURKEY CHILAQUILES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet, over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until soft. Add green chiles, diced tomatoes, leftover turkey and salsa. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with tortilla chips and then cheese. Place skillet in oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with side of sour cream.
Tips:
- Use day-old corn tortillas for the best texture. Fresh tortillas will be too soft and fall apart.
- If you don't have day-old tortillas, you can make them yourself by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 30 seconds.
- Cut the tortillas into strips or triangles. The smaller the pieces, the crispier they will be.
- Fry the tortilla strips in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, or the tortillas will not crisp up properly.
- Drain the tortilla strips on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- To make the chili sauce, use a combination of canned tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper or paprika, to taste.
- Simmer the chili sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened. The longer you simmer the sauce, the more flavorful it will be.
- To assemble the chilaquiles, layer the tortilla strips, chili sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings in a casserole dish. You can also add a fried egg on top.
- Bake the chilaquiles in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the chilaquiles immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and avocado.
Conclusion:
Turkey chilaquiles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. They are perfect for using up leftover turkey, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
