Print Recipe

A delicious and wholesome ground turkey enchiladas recipe that’s easy to make and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or as a make-ahead meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 (15-ounce) can beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 ¾ cups enchilada sauce, divided
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese, divided (such as cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 8–10 flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and ⅛ teaspoon salt; cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add ground turkey, remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Break turkey into small pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in beans and 1 cup enchilada sauce. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then stir in ¾ cup shredded cheese.
  5. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread ¼ cup enchilada sauce over the bottom.
  6. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the turkey mixture onto each warmed tortilla, roll up, and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Pour remaining ¾ cup enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining ¾ cup cheese on top.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until sauce bubbles around edges. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

For best results, warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking. You can customize toppings such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro. Leftovers reheat well and make a great next-day meal.
