Title: SUPER TURKEY ENCHILADAS *** (KVBF95A)
Categories: Main dish, Tex-mex, Chicken, Poultry
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 c Turkey; shredded cooked
1 1/2 c Sharp cheese; shredded
1/2 c Onion; chopped
1 c Cream of mushroom soup
1 c Tomato soup
10 oz Enchilada sauce; mild
12 ea Corn tortillas

Just tried this last night and it was so good I wanted
to share it. It’s from the back of a can of El Paso
enchilada sauce – but I substituted cooked turkey from
our last “bird” that I had in the freezer. I
originally called for cooked shredded beef. Combine
turkey, onion and 1/2 cup cheese and set aside.
Combine soups and sauce. Dip tortillas in hot oil a
few seconds on each side to .. soften. (I used the
microwave to heat them up) Top each with a heaping
tablespoon turkey mixture, roll up and place seam side
down in 13×9 inch baking dish. Pour sauce over and top
with 1 cup cheese. Bake 350 degrees for 1/2 hour.
Makes six serving. Leftovers can be refrigerated and
re heated. This was really good. A “keeper”. Barbara
