Spinach and Turkey Enchiladas

Spinach and Turkey Enchiladas
Recipe Tip
Iron-Rich Spinach
Spinach offers a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C, folic acid and iron to name a few. Iron helps transport oxygen to red blood cells to prevent anemia.
Storage
Ground turkey should be used within 1 or 2 days of purchase, or should be frozen. Ground turkey breast is leaner than ground turkey, and can be used instead, if you like.
Did You Know?
Garlic-pepper blend can be purchased in the spice section of the grocery store. It's a mixture of garlic powder, ground pepper and other seasonings. If not available, use 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder instead.

Good
My bf liked it he is a picky eater. I used low carb tortillas, 10oz of spinach. Everything else the same. I felt like it was average, will make it again.

missing details...
I thought the filling was very good. I added mushrooms to incorporate more veggies. However, I found using corn tortillas to be difficult. You need more enchilada sauce to keep them from falling apart, which leaves less for the top. I would use flour tortillas next time. Since the recipe did not give details on which to use I tried the lower calorie option.

very yummy!
We made these last night and they were so yummy! After 1 you're pretty full & with 4 of us 8 was plenty! Instead of using the old el paso think n chunky salsa we used chichi's medium salsa we had in the fridge, it was the same chunky style but i think the medium gave it more of a kick since it was on the hotter side. We'll definitely be making these again!

Spinach and Turkey Enchiladas
Adding Spinach is a great way to get the kids to eat their veggies: it is small (hardly noticable) and provides the right amount of taste. It is healthier than other enchilada receipes and therefor, it leaves some of the calories and salt behind but is still full of flavor with a hint of spice. Next time, I would either add the black pepper or the chiles not both as the pepper entensifies the hot taste.

Pretty Good
I was impressed that these came out pretty good, I wasn't so sure when I was making the filling. The only advice I can really give is to make sure to look at the can of enchilada sauce if you have kids...I didn't and purchased medium heat so the dish ended up too spicy for the kids but just right for the adults...will make again for adults but will make a different version for the kids.

Yummy!
I substituted half of the meat for a can of pinto beans to reduce fat. I also used whole wheat tortillas and added a tsp of chili powder to the meat mixture. This was delicious! My four year old even liked them!

I was able to get my husband to eat spinach! I also tried a variety of tortillas (corn, wheat and flour) and all were good.

Yum!
Absolutely delicious! I used green jalapeno & whole wheat tortillas which added a pretty pop of color & a little extra deliciousness. Also, my grocery store was out of shredded Mont & Colby cheese so I used the cubes which made for great little cheesy pockets throughout my meal.

Perfect
I wouldn't have thought of either turkey or spinach in an enchilada--let alone both, but it was so very very tasty. The cumin ads an almost wood-smoke flavor. Everyone loved these!

Goodness
Very good flavor & very easy to make. I was surprised at how good it tasted with the ground turkey. Definitely go with corn tortillas though. If you want it to be a bit saucier, dip the tortillas in enchilada sauce first.

Good dish needs alterations
The family liked the enchiladas, we used white corn tortillas because they are healthier for you. Which was good but everyone agreed that it needed more sauce. The tortillas were too crunchy.

Excellent Dish!!!
This recipe was delicious & a big hit at my house. I prepared it for my parents, who are very picky & will rarely try something new/different. They loved it!!! I did add a can of rotel tomatoes for a kick, served brown rice as a side dish also. Easy to make, very filling. I will make these again & again!!!

This is a fun recipe
I have made this many times, it is fun to tweak it. I have used chicken cubed, fresh spinach, and substituted a pouch of enchilada sauce mix instead. It is flavorful, yet not spicey. We have these in my household at least 3 times a month.

I made these for a family dinner. Five adults found the dish to be much too spicy but otherwise a good combo of spinich and turky. Also, I sub'd whole grain wraps for regular flour tortillas - wonderful texture and paired with the filling well. If I make them again I would leave the salsa out of the enchilada sauce and cut down a bit on the cumin.

Tastefully Simple
We thought this recipe was better tasting than the "turkey and spinach manicotti" with the same healthy benefits. Easy and full of flavor this recipe will be repeated over and over again in our households. Filling enough to send the husband to bed happy this is a healthy -feel good meal.

I made this last night and it was great. Since I don't eat meat I followed the directions, but eliminated the meat part.
