Simmered Turkey Enchiladas image

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

I thought the enchiladas were a bit dry. I would add more sauce next time.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I had some trouble getting the enchiladas to roll up without breaking. I think I might have used too much filling.
