I love this easy chicken recipe. But I made a Turkey on Sunday and I have all this leftover turkey meat. So I’m going to use my Chicken Enchilada recipe and make them with turkey instead!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I chopped up about 2 1\/2 cups of white turkey meat into diced pieces.  I diced up an onion and sauteed it in 2 tablespoons of butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sauteed onion in a bit of butter…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Then I added 1 1\/4 cups sour cream, 1\/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1\/3 cup of your favorite mild or medium salsa, and a can of diced green chilies and a can of cream of chicken soup.  Most of the time I add 1\/4 cup milk to it too just so it’s nice and moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I diced up turkey for these Turkey Enchiladas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Lastly  I add a little Lawry’s or Johnny’s (get at Costco) seasoning and a shake of chili powder. You could add cumin if you like it a little spicy. I seriously just do 2 or 3 little shakes of each. I just like lots of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mix the green chilies, onion, sour cream and cream of chicken soup…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Then I spray a 9 x 13 pan and get out the flour tortillas. I had some leftovers of 2 different sizes so I just cut the larger ones down with my kitchen scissors. They still don’t match but really, who cares. I’m not having the queen for dinner, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Spray Pam on a 9 x 13 pan…then grate your cheddar or jack cheese up…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I prefer jack cheese but all I had was medium cheddar…so it works too…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Add the heavy cream and and a little milk and mix up your filling…..<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Scoop into a flour tortilla and top with the cheese….EASY! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Get ready to roll it up….leave the seam on the underside in the pan….<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Here I am messing up my island…I’m a messy cook!<\/p>\n

Luckily, I have a deal with Mr. Moss; I do the cooking, he will clean up the dishes…
but I always have to clean off the counter mess I made….oh well…..he’s my
weeknight dishwasher….<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Then I mix about a half cup of sour cream with 3 tablespoons of salsa stir that up. I top each enchilada with the mix so the tops are moist and stay that way during baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This topping will keep your enchiladas moist while baking…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

I toasted up some pecans for a salad… Just put them in a frying pan with a little granulated sugar to toast…
Then when the sugar starts to melt just stir them around for a few minutes. They turn out looking like this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
