TURKEY ENCHILADAS WITH FIRE-ROASTED TOMATILLOS
Steps:
- For the tomatillos: Preheat the broiler and set the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos and onions out on a foil-lined tray. Drizzle the ingredients with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables under the broiler 3 to 4 inches from the top and cook until the tomatillos and onions are well charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the vegetables and broil until charred all over, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and transfer to a blender with the chicken stock, cilantro and lime juice. Puree until completely smooth. Place in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the turkey enchiladas: Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. Add the turkey and garlic and brown well, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano and onions and cook until well browned, 10 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch gratin dish with oil.
- Spoon some of the tomatillo sauce into the bottom of the pan to lightly coat it. Dip each tortilla into the heated tomatillo sauce (this will both flavor the tortilla and also make it more pliable). Spoon 1/4 cup of the ground turkey filling onto each tortilla. Divide 1/2 cup of the shredded Jack cheese between each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over the filling and place them seam-side down in the gratin dish. Place 6 enchiladas in the pan and top with more tomatillo sauce so they are just barely covered. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of Jack cheese and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. Place on a tray (to catch any drips) and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling, 15 to 17 minutes. Finish under the broiler to brown further if desired. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and garnish with the chopped cilantro. Serve with the sour cream on the side.

TURKEY AND BEAN BURRITOS
This is one of my favorite recipes. It comes from Prevention's "The Healthy Cook" Cookbook. By the taste you would never know this recipe is a "good for you" recipe. Makes a chili like burrito filling with melted cheese, wrapped by a crunchy on the edges flour tortilla. This recipe makes some leftovers. This is a good take along lunch too.

Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have brown spots.
- Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for black beans, but you can use any type of bean that you like. Some other good options include pinto beans, kidney beans, or garbanzo beans.
- Season the filling well: The filling for these burritos is simple, so it's important to season it well. Be sure to use plenty of chili powder, cumin, and garlic.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your burritos taste much better than store-bought tortillas. If you can, make your own tortillas or buy them from a local tortilleria.
- Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings: Some good options include guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and shredded cheese.
