I cooked a big Turkey dinner for Valentines and have a ton of left over turkey. In honor of my left over turkey I thought I would post a recipe to use it in. It sounded good to me :)
LEFTOVER TURKEY
ENCHILADAS
Leftover cooked turkey (white or dark meat pieces)
1 or 2 cans cream of celery soup or cream of chicken, cream of mushroom (whichever suits your taste)
1 can diced green chilies
1 reg. size pkg. plain tortilla chips, crumbled
1 (8 oz.) pkg. Cheddar cheese, grated
1 (8 oz.) pkg. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 jar jalapenos (optional)
Saute onions in butter in medium skillet until golden brown. Add green chilies, soup, and 1 soup can of water. Stir and simmer until heated. Crush tortilla chips, using 1/2 of package. Spread a layer in bottom of baking dish. Evenly place a layer of cooked turkey on top of chips. Spoon a layer of 1/2 of soup mixture over chips. Add jalapenos, if desired. Sprinkle with 1/3 of both grated cheeses. Repeat chips, turkey, and soup mixture; top with grated cheese. Quantity is determined by the amount of turkey available. For larger amounts, simply continue to layer ingredients.
Conventional Oven: Bake in oven at 350 degrees until thoroughly heated and cheese is bubbly.
Microwave Oven: Heat at medium high power until thoroughly heated and cheese is bubbly.
Note: This dish is great during holidays after everyone is tired of turkey and dressing. Cooked chicken also works great. This recipe reheats well and tastes even better as a leftover!
