Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the turkey, green onions, cream cheese, and 1 cup of the Jack cheese. Set aside.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the salsa verde or tomatillos, chiles, cilantro, and cream. Blend until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy, 6-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Using tongs, carefully place 1 tortilla at a time in the hot oil, and leave it in for 5 to 10 seconds until softened. Turn the tortilla over and soften the other side.
  • Drain over the skillet; then place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Place another paper towel on top and press to absorb the oil.
  • Repeat until all 8 tortillas are softened and drained.
  • Place one-eighth (about 1/2 cup) of the turkey mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place, seam-side down, in a 7 1/2-by-11-inch baking pan.
  • Pour the salsa verde-cream sauce over the enchiladas, and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of Jack cheese down the center.
  • Bake until heated through and bubbly, about 20-30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Turkey Enchiladas with Fire-Roasted Tomatillos image

Steps:

  • For the tomatillos: Preheat the broiler and set the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos and onions out on a foil-lined tray. Drizzle the ingredients with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables under the broiler 3 to 4 inches from the top and cook until the tomatillos and onions are well charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the vegetables and broil until charred all over, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and transfer to a blender with the chicken stock, cilantro and lime juice. Puree until completely smooth. Place in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the turkey enchiladas: Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. Add the turkey and garlic and brown well, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano and onions and cook until well browned, 10 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch gratin dish with oil.
  • Spoon some of the tomatillo sauce into the bottom of the pan to lightly coat it. Dip each tortilla into the heated tomatillo sauce (this will both flavor the tortilla and also make it more pliable). Spoon 1/4 cup of the ground turkey filling onto each tortilla. Divide 1/2 cup of the shredded Jack cheese between each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over the filling and place them seam-side down in the gratin dish. Place 6 enchiladas in the pan and top with more tomatillo sauce so they are just barely covered. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of Jack cheese and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. Place on a tray (to catch any drips) and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling, 15 to 17 minutes. Finish under the broiler to brown further if desired. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly and garnish with the chopped cilantro. Serve with the sour cream on the side.

1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husked and cut in quarters
3 cloves garlic
2 jalapenos, stemmed and seeded
1 small sweet onion, rough chopped
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced

Turkey Enchiladas image

Steps:

  • While preparing Thanksgiving dinner, make the enchilada sauce:
  • In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, ancho and arbol chiles, garlic, celery, carrots, coriander, cumin, and dill and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper then transfer to the roasting pan you will roast the turkey in.
  • Roast the turkey according to your recipe. As the turkey roasts, its juices and fat will drip down and cook the enchilada sauce ingredients. (Keep in mind that if you baste the turkey with the turkey juices, they'll be flavored with your enchilada sauce ingredients. To avoid flavoring your turkey this way, baste with melted butter, turkey or chicken stock, or low-sodium chicken broth-or a combination of these.)
  • When you remove the turkey from the oven to rest, check to see that the vegetables are tender and if necessary return them to the oven to finish cooking.
  • Working in batches, transfer the enchilada mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth-if necessary, use a few splashes of water to loosen or thin the mixture and create a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: The enchilada sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 3 days, or frozen, up to 3 months.
  • Assemble the enchiladas:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter 2 (9- by 13-inch) baking dishes. Spread about 1 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of each dish.
  • Pick the meat off the leftover turkey carcass and transfer to a large bowl-you'll need about 4 cups of meat. Add half the remaining enchilada sauce, along with half the queso fresco and half the queso Chihuahua, and stir to combine.
  • On a work surface, spread about 1 cup of the turkey filling on the bottom half of 1 tortilla and roll it up burrito-style, folding in the sides to seal them closed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Arrange the enchiladas tightly in the 2 prepared baking dishes then cover with the remaining sauce, followed by the remaining queso fresco and queso Chihuahua. DO AHEAD: The turkey enchiladas can be assembled up to this point, covered, and refrigerated, up to 24 hours, or frozen up to 3 months.
  • Cover the enchiladas with foil and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thickened and dark, about 1 hour. Serve immediately with sour cream and limes.

For the enchilada sauce:
2 (28-ounce) cans whole, peeled San Marzano tomatoes, drained and seeded
2 large onions, roughly chopped
8 dried ancho chiles,* seeds removed
20 dried arbol chiles, seeds removed
4 heads garlic, cloves separated and peeled
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons whole cumin seeds
2 tablespoons whole dill seeds
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Your favorite roast turkey or 2 roast chickens
To assemble:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, for greasing the baking dish
About 4 cups pulled cooked turkey (from roast turkey) or chicken (from 2 roast chickens)
8 (12-inch) flour tortillas
3 cups grated queso fresco**
3 cups shredded queso Chihuahua***
To serve:
Sour cream
Limes, cut into wedges
*Dried chiles are often quite spicy and can leave their heat on your hands so some cooks like to wear rubber gloves when working with them. Be careful not to touch your eyes.
**Queso fresco is a mild, grainy Mexican cheese available at many supermarkets. Cotija and feta are good substitutes.
***Queso Chihuahua is a stringy, melting Mexican cheese. If unavailable, use mozzarella.
Equipment: 1 large roasting pan; food processor or blender; 2 (9- by 13-inch) baking dishes
