Enchilada Casserole with Ground Turkey

July 27, 2012 | recipes, Uncategorized

 

Good morning! I don’t do this too often, but I have a recipe to share with you today! I have made it twice now and Bobby loves it. It’s easy, quick, and we usually have leftovers, which is a plus for me….no cooking the next night! I found a variation of it online but changed it up a bit to make it more to my liking. I am really picky and I even like this, so I think it would be a kid favorite as well. I am not a HUGE onion fan so I chop them up really tiny and don’t even notice them.

Enchilada Casserole with Ground Turkey

-Fills a 13×9 casserole dish, 30-35 minute cook time, 15 minute prep time

INGREDIENTS:

– one package of Jenni-O ground turkey

-one can of enchilada sauce ( I use mild)

-1/3 of an onion

– 6 flour tortilla shells (I use whole grain)

-cheddar cheese (1-1.5 cups)

-cooking spray

—————————————–

-Preheat oven to 350

-cook turkey according to package. drain

-chop and add onion, cook in pan with turkey 3-5 minutes

-heat 1/2 can of enchilada sauce in saucepan

-spray bottom of  casserole dish

-take one tortilla, dip one side in heated sauce in pan, put in center of casserole dish

-take second tortilla, tear in half, dip halves in sauce and put in bottom of the dish so bottom of the dish is covered

– take half of the cooked turkey/onion combo and put on top of tortillas

-Sprinkle a layer of cheese on top of turkey

-repeat steps of dipping tortillas and layering on top of first layer (one whole shell and one torn in half)

-pour the rest of the turkey/onion combo on the shells, add cheese on top

-take final two shells, dip in sauce and layer on top of mixture again

-pour remaining half of enchilada sauce on top of everything and top with cheese

-bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes

    Our top two recipes are turkey burgers and meat sauce. We add worchesteshire, egg whites, McCormic Hamburger seasoning, diced jalepenos, and Rouses Cajun seasoning to the meat to make the burger patties. The eggwhites are key to keeping them moist and in one piece on the grill. The meat sauce couldn’t be easier–brown meat in skillet with the trinity, drain, combine in pot with 1 jar of Emeril’s Homestyle marinara, add a little garlic powder and italian seasoning, simmer for an hour and serve with whole wheat pasta or over quinoa. It makes a thick sauce.

    Yum! I make something very similar but add chopped zucchini and black beans. Now you have me wanting it tonight, but pork is already in the slow cooker!

    You know, I’ve started making my enchiladas into more of a casserole too. Not as pretty perhaps, but so much easier.

    As you know, I don’t eat turkey. But you just reminded me of an enchilada/burrito recipe I have that I need to make again soon. Yum!

    All my ground turkey recipes are my fave (since sadly I can’t have ground beef). I really really love meatloaf, though.

If you’re planning a trip to Florida’s Forgotten C If you’re planning a trip to Florida’s Forgotten Coast, save this one. 🌊 #RentingTheCoastPartner

We stayed at Singing Waves in Cape San Blas, and it was everything we wanted in a beach getaway: beautiful views, plenty of space, and the kind of place that makes you slow down and actually enjoy vacation.

What really stood out, though, was Renting the Coast. They’re a locally owned, family run company that manages vacation homes throughout Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and the surrounding Forgotten Coast communities. 

Instead of managing hundreds of properties, they intentionally keep their inventory smaller so they can provide a more personal experience for both guests and homeowners. They’re known for being accessible, responsive, and focused on making sure every stay goes smoothly.

If Cape San Blas has been on your travel list, Singing Waves is absolutely worth checking out, and so is Renting the Coast’s collection of homes along Florida’s most underrated stretch of coastline. ☀️

Have you ever visited Cape San Blas?

A few things we loved:

🌴 Tropical island atmosphere that actually feels like an escape from the parks

🚤 Water taxi access to Universal CityWalk and the parks

🚶 Easy walking path if you’d rather skip the boat

🎢 Unlimited Express Pass included for registered guests

🏊 Beautiful pool area with plenty of space to relax between park days

For us, it was the perfect balance of resort time and theme park time.

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️
