Week 11 - Enchilada Casserole with Ground Turkey

I wanted to do something different this week and we haven't had turkey meat in awhile. I found a recipe through Pinterest for Enchilada Casserole with Ground Turkey that looked good - http://throughheatherslookingglass.com/enchilada-casserole-with-ground-turkey/

Here is my version of the recipe:

Ingredients
1 small package ground turkey
1 small can of enchilada sauce
1 package of flour tortilla shells
1 cup cheddar cheese
2 Tomatoes
3 small green peppers
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350

Cook turkey in skillet. Once cooked chop tomatoes and peppers and cook in pan with turkey 3-5 peppers (feel free to use any vegetables you prefer).

Heat can of enchilada sauce in saucepan. Spray bottom of casserole dish. Take one tortilla and dip one side in heated sauce in pan, put in center of casserole dish. Take another tortilla and dip in sauce to cover the rest of the dish so that the bottom of the dish is covered with tortillas. Take half of the cooked meat mixture and put on top of tortillas.

Sprinkle a layer of cheese on top of turkey mixture.

Repeat steps of dipping tortillas and layering on top of first layer. Pour the rest of the turkey mixture on top of the tortillas, add cheese on top (similar to making lasanga!).  Take the final shells, dip in sauce and layer on top of mixture again. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top of everything and top with cheese. 

Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes. Serve and enjoy!!!

We really enjoyed this meal! It made just enough for 2 of us with a little bit of leftovers. Next time I make it I will use a bigger package of meat.

Stay tuned for a special Thanksgiving Addition - that will be the next post!! Until then....
