CONTEST-WINNING TURKEY ENCHILADAS

My family likes these enchiladas so much that they request a turkey dinner several times a year just so I'll make this dish with the leftovers. I usually double it because I feed three growing boys-two teenagers and my husband! -Beverly Matthews, Pasco, Washington

Turkey Enchiladas image

Steps:

  • While preparing Thanksgiving dinner, make the enchilada sauce:
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, ancho and arbol chiles, garlic, celery, carrots, coriander, cumin, and dill and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper then transfer to the roasting pan you will roast the turkey in.
  • Roast the turkey according to your recipe. As the turkey roasts, its juices and fat will drip down and cook the enchilada sauce ingredients. (Keep in mind that if you baste the turkey with the turkey juices, they'll be flavored with your enchilada sauce ingredients. To avoid flavoring your turkey this way, baste with melted butter, turkey or chicken stock, or low-sodium chicken broth-or a combination of these.)
  • When you remove the turkey from the oven to rest, check to see that the vegetables are tender and if necessary return them to the oven to finish cooking.
  • Working in batches, transfer the enchilada mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth-if necessary, use a few splashes of water to loosen or thin the mixture and create a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: The enchilada sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 3 days, or frozen, up to 3 months.
  • Assemble the enchiladas:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter 2 (9- by 13-inch) baking dishes. Spread about 1 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of each dish.
  • Pick the meat off the leftover turkey carcass and transfer to a large bowl-you'll need about 4 cups of meat. Add half the remaining enchilada sauce, along with half the queso fresco and half the queso Chihuahua, and stir to combine.
  • On a work surface, spread about 1 cup of the turkey filling on the bottom half of 1 tortilla and roll it up burrito-style, folding in the sides to seal them closed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Arrange the enchiladas tightly in the 2 prepared baking dishes then cover with the remaining sauce, followed by the remaining queso fresco and queso Chihuahua. DO AHEAD: The turkey enchiladas can be assembled up to this point, covered, and refrigerated, up to 24 hours, or frozen up to 3 months.
  • Cover the enchiladas with foil and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thickened and dark, about 1 hour. Serve immediately with sour cream and limes.

For the enchilada sauce:
2 (28-ounce) cans whole, peeled San Marzano tomatoes, drained and seeded
2 large onions, roughly chopped
8 dried ancho chiles,* seeds removed
20 dried arbol chiles, seeds removed
4 heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons whole cumin seeds
2 tablespoons whole dill seeds
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Your favorite roast turkey or 2 roast chickens
To assemble:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, for greasing the baking dish
About 4 cups pulled cooked turkey (from roast turkey) or chicken (from 2 roast chickens)
8 (12-inch) flour tortillas
3 cups grated queso fresco**
3 cups shredded queso Chihuahua***
To serve:
Sour cream
Limes, cut into wedges
*Dried chiles are often quite spicy and can leave their heat on your hands so some cooks like to wear rubber gloves when working with them. Be careful not to touch your eyes.
**Queso fresco is a mild, grainy Mexican cheese available at many supermarkets. Cotija and feta are good substitutes.
***Queso Chihuahua is a stringy, melting Mexican cheese. If unavailable, use mozzarella.
Equipment: 1 large roasting pan; food processor or blender; 2 (9- by 13-inch) baking dishes

SPICY GROUND TURKEY ENCHILADAS

I like to get inspired by recipes and then tweak them into my own fabulous creations. Unsure of what to make for Sunday dinner, but needing a quick and economical solution to my dilemma, I came up with these. I served these with a salad that was topped with a fresh pineapple and fresh cilantro vinaigrette I concocted. I hope you love them as much as we did! This is a great idea to use up that left over rice. Also leave out the turkey for a vegetarian option.

Steps:

  • Begin to brown the ground turkey in a frying pan. (make sure it is big enough to fit the rest of the diced vegetables).
  • Stir in all the veggies and let them cook down.
  • Add the taco seasoning mix as directed on the package. If you like cilantro you can add it to your taste at this point.
  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Once the meat is cooked and the veggies have softened, you can add the canned peppers, beans, corn and about 1/4 of the salsa.
  • Lightly grease the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill each tortilla with turkey mixture and your cooked rice and sprinkle with cheese before folding.
  • Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
  • Pour the rest of your salsa over the top evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Sprinkle the reserved chopped green chilies and the sliced olives on top of the cheese.

An enchilada, by definition, is a corn tortilla filled with various ingredients and drenched in cheese and sauce. This recipe doesn't involve any rolling of tortillas, nor does it require copious amounts of cheese. However, every bite will remind you of the flavors of this popular comfort food.
