I discovered a different way to serve economical turkey thighs. I simmer them in tomato sauce, green chiles and seasonings until they're tender and flavorful, then serve them in tortillas with our favorite fresh toppings. -Stella Schams, Tempe, Arizona

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them.

The next time I make these, I'm going to add some chopped cilantro to the filling.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option, and it doesn't sacrifice any flavor.
