3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups finely chopped onions

5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chilies*
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups coarsely shredded cooked turkey
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
12 5- to 6-inch corn tortillas
*Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce are sold at Latin American markets, at specialty foods stores and at some supermarkets.

These enchiladas were a delicious and easy way to use up leftover turkey. The sauce was flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely make them again.
