Tips:

  • Prep the turkey: Before cooking, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps ensure even cooking.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce: The sauce is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sauce that is flavorful and has a nice balance of spices.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey can easily become dry if it's overcooked, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you can, try to use fresh spinach in this dish.
  • Top with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for enchiladas, and it adds a delicious flavor and texture. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.

Conclusion:

This oven-baked turkey spinach enchiladas is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it's also a great option for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful filling, creamy sauce, and crispy cheese topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
