1 roasted turkey breast (2 to 2 1/2 pounds cooked breast meat)
2 tablespoons EVOO
3 to 4 ounces center cut smoky bacon or applewood bacon, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 jalapeno or Fresno chiles, chopped (seed the chiles for a milder filling)
2 medium or 1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin, scant palmful
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley leaves, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 lime, juiced
About 1 cup leftover gravy, or turkey or chicken stock
Salt
16 corn tortillas or twelve 6-inch flour tortillas
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese or combo of Monterey and Pepper Jack
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese or combo of Monterey and Pepper Jack
One 4-ounce tin diced green chiles, well drained
Chopped or shredded iceberg or Romaine heart lettuce
Diced avocado with lime juice
Seeded diced tomatoes
Chopped red onion or scallions
Creme fraiche or Mexican crema or sour cream, for dolloping

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the turkey meat and pulse process in a food processor into a fine chop.
  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat with the EVOO, a couple turns of the pan. Add the bacon and render until crispy. Add the garlic, chiles and onions. Season with cumin and some pepper. Saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the turkey, cilantro, tomatoes and lime juice. Then add the gravy or stock to moisten. Warm through and season with salt.

  • Fill the tortillas with the turkey and bacon mixture and arrange in a large baking dish. Pour the sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Then top with the remaining cheese. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
  • To bake the enchiladas, bring to room temperature and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the enchiladas until brown and bubbly, about 40 minutes if from the fridge, or 20 to 25 minutes if still warm from the initial preparation.
  • Serve and top the enchiladas with lettuce, avocado, lime, tomatoes, onions and creme fraiche.

SHREDDED TURKEY AND POTATO ENCHILADAS



Shredded Turkey and Potato Enchiladas image

I have to give credit to Asha who posted the original turkey and potato enchilada recipe I tried (recipe #152343). I was getting ready to make them again, but my bf wanted shredded turkey instead of ground turkey. Therefore, he inspired this creation. The time can be cut down by using leftover turkey or cooking on the stove top instead of crock pot.

KITTENCAL'S ENCHILADA STACK



Kittencal's Enchilada Stack image

Do not spread the sour cream directly over the tortillas as it will cause the tortilla to turn soggy, if desired a can of drained black beans can be added into the ground beef mixture, I also like to sprinkle about 3 chopped green onions on before adding on the shredded cheese just on the top layer --- this is *very* good!
