Recipe Introduction


Try enchiladas with turkey sausage for a change of pace from the traditional shredded beef or chicken.





List of Ingredients



• 1 lb ground turkey sausage
  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
  
• 1 tsp minced garlic
  
• 1 (7.76 oz) can tomatillo salsa, divided
  
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  
• 8 (6-inch) fajita-size corn tortillas*
  
• 2 cups (8 oz) shredded Mexcian four-cheese blend, divided
  
• vegetable cooking spray
  
• 2 cups refrigerated fresh medium-heat tomato salsa
  
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  
• garnish: chopped fresh cilantro
  






Instructions



1. Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 11 to 14 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove sausage from skillet using a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
   
2. Saute onion and garlic in hot drippings over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in sausage, 1/2 cup tomatillo salsa, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
   
3. Place 2 tortillas between damp paper towels. Microwave tortillas at HIGH 15 seconds. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas.
   
4. Spoon about 1/3 cup sausage mixture evenly down center of each softened tortilla, and sprinkle each with 1 T cheese; roll tortillas up, and place, seam sides down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Lightly coat tops of tortillas with cooking spray.
   
5. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until tortillas are crisp.
   
6. Stir together 2 cups tomato salsa, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and remaining tomatillo salsa in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Pour salsa mixture over tortillas, and top evenly with remaining cheese. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Garnish, if desired.
