Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Line baking dish with foil. Prepare enchiladas as directed—except do not bake. Place in baking dish; cool to room temperature. Wrap tightly; freeze 2 to 3 months. Freeze sauce and 1 cup Cheddar cheese in separate containers. Before baking, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover baking dish. Pour sauce over enchiladas; sprinkle with cheese. Bake as directed, adding 5 to 10 minutes to baking time.

Lean ground beef can be used in place of the turkey.

Try other vegetables, such as chopped spinach, instead of zucchini.
