45 min

A delicious and easy enchilad casserole made with ground turkey.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 20 ounces red enchilada sauce ((I buy two 10 ounce cans))
  • 12 ounces frozen corn
  • 14 ounces black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican cheese)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Spread about half of the 10 ounce can of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Note: you can also make this in two 8x8" baking dishes, if you want a smaller portion, and one to freeze later.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and turkey, and brown the ground turkey, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks.

  4. 4

    Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, the remaining enchilada sauce, corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes and stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Layer half of the corn tortillas on top of the enchilada sauce.

  6. 6

    Top with half of the turkey enchilada filling, followed by half of the cheese.

  7. 7

    Repeat the tortilla layer, enchilada filling layer, and then top with the remaining cheese.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. If you make it in an 8x8" dish, you can decrease the baking time to 25 minutes.

  9. 9

    Wrap the baking dish with plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil.
