Ingredients

  • 20 oz ground turkey breast
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 tsp minced garlic
  • 8 tsps ground oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 3 1/2 cups enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups reduced-fat shredded jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 12 corn tortillas

Directions

  • In a 5 to 6-quart pan over high heat, stir turkey, onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin in oil until turkey is crumbly and no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 cup enchilada sauce. Add salt to taste.
  • Meanwhile, cut tortillas in half. Arrange a fourth of the halves evenly over the bottom of a shallow 3-quart casserole, overlapping to fit.
  • Sprinkle a 1/4 of the cheese evenly over the tortillas, then top with 1/3 of the turkey mixture and a 1/4 of the remaining enchilada sauce, spreading each level.
  • Repeat to make two more layers of tortillas, cheese, turkey mixture, and sauce; top with another layer of tortillas and sauce, then cheese.
  • Bake in a 425° F (210° C) regular or convection oven until cheese is melted and casserole is hot in the center, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
