Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 200°F. Bring enchilada sauce to simmer in medium skillet over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 9x12 inch baking pans.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and chopped green, yellow, and orange bell peppers; cook and stir until the peppers have softened and onion has turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the kosher salt, black pepper, chipotle pepper, ancho pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook and stir until seasonings start to become fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
- Pour in the sour cream and heavy cream, and add the cream cheese. Stir well to combine, and cook over low heat until mixture is heated through and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to cool about 10 to 15 minutes. Divide mixture, and reserve half for topping.
- Combine shredded turkey with 2 1/2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Add in half of the cooled cream and pepper mixture, and stir lightly to mix. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until the oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Slide one tortilla at a time into the oil and allow to heat through, about 20 to 30 seconds, until the tortilla is hot and pliable. Stack the warmed tortillas and cover to retain heat.
- To assemble the enchiladas, place 1/4 cup of creamy turkey filling in a line down the center of each tortilla, roll the tortillas, and lay 11 enchiladas, seam sides down, into each prepared baking dish. Top each dish with half of the reserved cream and pepper mixture. Bake the pans in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until enchiladas are heated through and sauce begins to brown and bubble.
- Remove the pans from the oven, sprinkle each with about 3/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, and return to the oven to finish baking, about 15 more minutes, until topping is melted, browned, and bubbling. Let stand about 10 minutes to rest before serving.

TURKEY ENCHILADAS
I love enchiladas, but I don't like the grease and excess fat when using ground beef. Nor does the fam like corn tortillas. So I swapped the beef for turkey, the corn tortillas for whole wheat tortillas and the sour cream to low fat sour cream. There is so much flavor in these, you won't miss the fat!

Tips:
- To make the enchiladas more flavorful, marinate the turkey in the adobo sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have adobo sauce, you can make your own by blending together 1 cup of canned tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of chili powder, 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of oregano, and 1 teaspoon of cumin.
- To make the enchiladas easier to roll, warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before filling them.
- If you are using corn tortillas, be sure to dip them in the enchilada sauce before filling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
- To make the enchiladas more cheesy, add a layer of shredded cheese to the bottom of the baking dish before adding the enchiladas.
