Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup sour cream
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups cubed cooked turkey
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas, or more if needed
1 tablespoon chopped black olives, or as desired
1 tablespoon shredded Cheddar cheese, or as desired

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the garlic and onion until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the jalapeno pepper and flour. Stir a few times to mix in the flour. Stir in the chicken stock, about 1/4 cup at a time; cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Mix in the tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer.
While the sauce is simmering, combine sour cream, 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese, and turkey in a bowl. Place a tortilla down onto a work surface, and spoon 1/4 of the turkey mixture onto the tortilla in a line down the center. Roll the tortilla around the filling; place into the prepared baking dish with seam side down. Repeat with the other tortillas. Pour the tomato sauce over the filled tortillas. Sprinkle the casserole with black olives and 1 tablespoon of Cheddar cheese as garnish.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese topping is browned and the casserole is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 cups shredded chicken or 3 cups turkey (no skin)
2 cups sour cream
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
12 corn tortillas
1 (16 ounce) jar medium hot salsa

Steps:

In a bowl, mix chicken or turkey, sour cream, 2 cups shredded cheese, and salt.
Heat oil in an 8-to 10inch frying pan over low heat.
Dip the tortillas, one at a time, in the hot oil just until limp, about 5 seconds.
Fill tortillas equally with chicken mixture, roll up, and arrange side by side, slit side down, in a 9-x13 inch baking dish.
Pour salsa evenly over top.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
If desired sprinkle with more shredded cheese over hot enchiladas before serving.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. Fresh sour cream, turkey, and vegetables will give your enchiladas the best flavor.
Don't overcook the turkey. Turkey can become dry and tough if it's cooked for too long. Cook it until it's just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack, will give your enchiladas a rich and flavorful filling.
Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what really brings the enchiladas together. Make sure to use a generous amount of sauce, both inside and outside the tortillas.
Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the tortillas are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Sour cream turkey enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your enchiladas are perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
