Turkey Enchilada Pie

Jan and I had Turkey Enchilada Pie this evening and decided it was worth sharing! We used lean ground turkey, but the recipe says you can use ground beef.

3/4 pound lean ground turkey
1 medium onion chopped
1 tsp. chili powder
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup fat-free milk
1 small can of chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 large burrito-size wheat flour tortillas
3 cups tomatoes chopped
10 Tbsp low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place on medium heat. Brown the turkey with onions and chili powder. Remove browned turkey from skillet and set aside.
Make a paste with the flour and some of the milk. Heat the rest of the milk and the paste in the skillet over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the turkey, chillies and cumin.
Place one tortilla in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Spread 1/3 of the turkey over the tortilla. Spoon 1 cup of the tomatoes on top and sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients ending up with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Let stand covered for a couple of minutes before cutting into six wedges.

This is another Weight Watchers meal and with a value of four points. Jan and I didn't use the burrito-size tortillas. We used regular fat-free flour tortillas. We used canned diced tomatoes - 2 cans are about three cups. We served it with chopped lettuce, salsa and sour cream (fat free of course!)
It really was delicious and I'll be having it for lunch tomorrow!
Enjoy

  1. There is definitely a Mexican and turkey theme here. Do Mexicans eat turkey?

  2. Turkey turns up in a lot of Weight watcher recipes....You know - low fat. Not many people know it, but the Turkey originated in Mexico except it was spelled turque.
