Turkey Enchilada Pie

I picked this recipe simply because it sounded good and I also wanted to find more recipes using ground turkey. The recipe comes from Weight Watchers. I think ground turkey is a great alternative to ground beef, and is definitely more healthy!

Turkey Enchilada Pie

Ingredients
3/4 lb lean ground turkey (I used 1 lb)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp chili powder
3 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
4 oz can jalapeno peppers, drained and chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 large burrito-size flour tortillas
3 cups tomatoes, chopped (I used about 2 cups salsa)
10 Tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat; place turkey, onion and chili powder in skillet and cook until turkey is browned, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove turkey mixture from pan and set aside.

Place skillet over medium-high heat and add flour. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat, stir in turkey mixture, jalapenos and cumin.

Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high until softened, about 15 seconds. Place 1 tortilla on the bottom on a 9-inch pie plate. Spread 1/3 of turkey mixture over tortilla. Spoon 1 cup of tomato (or 2/3 cup salsa) on top and sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.

Cover pie plate with aluminum foil and cook at 350º until cheese melts and filling is warmed through, about 15 minutes.

Amanda's Analysis:
I thought this dish was pretty good. It was a nice change from chicken, which we have quite often. I think the meat could have used a little different flavoring, maybe taco seasoning. It was also worked well as leftovers and served with corn chips. I give this Enchilada Pie 5 spoons.

John's Jibba-Jabba:
This was a good although unmemorable dish. If we were to make this again I would kick things up with fresh chopped green peppers and jalapenos. Corn and some black beans would be a nice addition as well. Overall it was an easy dish that gets 4 spoons.
