Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Substitutions: You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor profile. For a lighter option, use low-fat sour cream and shredded reduced-fat cheese.

Variations: Add a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the filling for a bit of spice. You can also substitute the turkey with shredded chicken or ground beef.

Tip: To prevent the tortillas from breaking when rolling, ensure they are warmed properly. You can also add a small amount of the cheese sauce to the bottom of the baking dish before placing the enchiladas to prevent sticking.
