Frugal Kitchen: Leftover Turkey

Many many years ago, I got a holiday planning guide from Kraft for purchasing the required number of items.  This was way before the internet.  I still a few of these idea cards around the holidays, but I have not seen the holiday planning guides in several years.

My favorite recipe from this guide is the Turkey Enchiladas.  I have made them many times over the years.


These are so simple to make and are delicious.



Turkey Enchiladas Con Queso

1 cup chopped turkey
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chopped green onion
8 corn tortillas
oil
3/4 lb. cheese spread
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup milk

Mix together turkey, cream cheese and onion until well blended.  I use my hands to mix them.

Brush tortillas lightly with oil.  Stack 4 on a plate and microwave on High for 30 seconds or until soft.  Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup turkey / cheese mixture.  Roll up; place, seam side down in a 12x8 inch baking dish.

Microwave process cheese spread, chopped tomatoes and milk on High for 2-4 minutes or until process cheese spread is melted, stirring after each minute.  Pour cheese sauce over tortillas in the casserole dish.  Microwave on High for 12-14 minutes or until thoroughly heated, turning dish after 6 minutes.

Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
