restaurant 8-12 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups cooked, roughly-chopped turkey
6 eggs
1 teaspoon green chilies
1/2 cup red onion
1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
Corn Tortillas (need enough to fill pan, 8-12, depending on how full you fill them)

Marinade

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon green chilis (canned)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Green Chili Sauce

1 can (10 ounces) green enchilada sauce
1 cups sour cream

Garnish

Chopped red pepper
Avocado chunks
Cilantro
Red onion

Directions

  • Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl, and pour into a gallon-sized storage bag with cooked turkey, refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to prepare enchiladas, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs, and mix with green chilies, thyme and red onions.
  • Cook in a frying pan, scrambling as you go.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the enchilada sauce with the sour cream, and set aside.
  • Get marinated turkey out of the fridge, and pour the excess liquid off the turkey and into the enchilada sauce bowl, and stir well.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave 30-60 seconds so they are easier to bend.
  • Assemble enchiladas by placing 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of a glass 9x13 baking dish, then filling tortillas, one at a time with egg, turkey, and cheese.
  • Lay filled tortillas in pan, pour sauce over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Cover with foil.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in 350-degree oven. Then remove foil and increase heat to 400 degrees, bake until cheese is starting to get golden and sauce is bubbling.
  • Garnish as desired and enjoy!
