Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Want to prep these ground turkey enchiladas ahead of time? Line baking dish with foil. Prepare turkey 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.
  • tip 2
    Lean ground beef can be used in place of the turkey in this turkey enchilada recipe.
  • tip 3
    Switch up this dish by trying other vegetables, such as chopped spinach, instead of zucchini.
