Expert Tips

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.

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.

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.

Wow - 800mg. of sodium for one enchilada. Not so good if you're following a cardiac diet.

We like this alot. but does take some time to put together, but will keep making it. Mushrooms go great with this, and red peppers for coller.

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.
