Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 lb ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tbl minced garlic
2 tbl minced fresh oregano leaves
(or 1 tbspn dried oregano)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salad oil
1 can red enchilada sauce - (29 oz)
Salt to taste
12 x corn tortillas (6" dia)
2 cup shredded reduced-fat jack cheese - (8 oz)
Instructions:
Instructions: 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 fourth of the cheese evenly over the tortillas, then top with a third of the turkey mixture and a fourth 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 degree regular or convection oven until cheese is melted and casserole is hot in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.

Comments: Quick weeknight way to spice up lean ground turkey. If desired, serve with reduced-fat sour cream.
