3 medium poblano peppers, seeded and stemmed, chopped

A small handful fresh cilantro leaves, plus a few leaves for garnishing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour

1/2 cup heavy cream or Mexican crema
2 tablespoons EVOO
3 tablespoons butter
12 ounces sliced button or crimini mushrooms
2 cups fresh (about 4 ears) or frozen and defrosted corn kernels
2 shallots or 1 small red onion, chopped
4 to 5 cups chopped cooked turkey meat
1 cup chicken stock
Six 8-inch flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar
1 1/2 cups shredded Manchego cheese

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the peppers with the stock, garlic, onions, cilantro and some salt and pepper, then puree. In a saucepot over medium heat, melt the butter, then whisk in the flour. Add the milk and cream and raise the heat a bit. Add the poblano puree and simmer to thicken and cook the sauce, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • For the casserole: Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the butter and melt into the oil. Brown the mushrooms, about 10 minutes. Then add the corn and shallots, and cook to lightly brown the corn and soften the shallots, about 5 minutes more. Add the turkey and stock and heat through.
  • Char the tortillas over an open flame on a gas burner, or in dry skillet.
  • Layer half the turkey, mushrooms and corn in a casserole dish, and top with half the sauce, cheese and a shingled layer of 3 tortillas. Top the tortillas with the remaining turkey, mushrooms and corn, tortillas, sauce and cheese. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal, or bake to serve. Bake at 400 degrees F from room temperature until heated through and brown and bubbly.

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your casserole will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the casserole: This will help them to caramelize and develop more flavor.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms: Different types of mushrooms will give your casserole a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so don't skimp on quality. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Top the casserole with bread crumbs or crushed crackers before baking: This will give the casserole a crispy topping.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
