Delicious with shredded chicken, also. My sister came over the day after I made these and even after a trip in the microwave, they were excellent.
Turkey Enchiladas with Sour Cream
Leigh Beisch
Notes: Use any favorite, good-quality salsa, red or green, for these enchiladas. The recipe is a great way to use up leftover holiday turkey, but if you don't have turkey on hand, shredded cooked chicken is a good substitute. Serve the enchiladas with a simple Mexican coleslaw of shredded cabbage dressed with lime juice and cumin.
