How to Make Ground Turkey Enchilada Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb ground turkey until crumbly and no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 (10 ounce) can of enchilada sauce and bring to a simmer.
  4. While the turkey simmers, cut 12 corn or flour tortillas in half.
  5. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer 1/3 of the tortilla halves, slightly overlapping.
  6. Sprinkle 1/3 of 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the tortillas.
  7. Top with 1/3 of the turkey mixture and 1/3 cup of enchilada sauce.
  8. Repeat layers twice more: tortillas, cheese, turkey mixture, and enchilada sauce.
  9. Top with the remaining tortilla halves, remaining enchilada sauce, and remaining cheese.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
