Dinner: Turkey Enchilada Casserole

Sensational layered tortillas and ground turkey with enchilada sauce and reduced fat cheese.

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 45 mins

Total Time: 60 mins

Ingredients

20 oz ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 tsp minced garlic
8 tsps ground oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp olive oil
3 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
2 cups reduced-fat shredded jack cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
12 corn tortillas

Instructions

1. In a 5 to 6-quart pan over high heat, stir turkey, onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin in oil until turkey is crumbly and no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

2. Stir in 1 cup enchilada sauce. Add salt to taste.

3. Meanwhile, cut tortillas in half. Arrange a fourth of the halves evenly over the bottom of a shallow 3-quart casserole, overlapping to fit.

4. Sprinkle a 1/4 of the cheese evenly over the tortillas, then top with 1/3 of the turkey mixture and a 1/4 of the remaining enchilada sauce, spreading each level.

5. Repeat to make two more layers of tortillas, cheese, turkey mixture, and sauce; top with another layer of tortillas and sauce, then cheese.

6. Bake in a 425° F (210° C) regular or convection oven until cheese is melted and casserole is hot in the center, 18 to 20 minutes.

7. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
