Turkey and Kale Enchiladas

Turkey and Kale Enchiladas

Serves 4–6

You'll Need
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 4 cups kale, washed, stems and centre ribs removed and cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped green chilies (canned)
  • 12 flour tortillas
  • ½ cup light cream
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving
Prep and Cook
  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine the turkey, cumin and chili powder in a skillet set over medium high heat and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add 3 ½ cups of the kale and combine, cooking until the meat is cooked through and the kale is slightly wilted. Remove from the stovetop and transfer mixture to a medium-mixing bowl.
  • Add the corn, 1 cup of cheese and the chilies; mix well.
  • Spoon some of the mixture into a flour tortilla and roll the wrap up tightly, placing seam-side down in a casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
  • Combine the light cream, sour cream and salsa and mix well.
  • Pour the sauce over the tortillas. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and kale. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream and salsa if desired.

    Really tasty.  Adults and older kids went back fe more.  Little kids happily eat their greens.  Would make again for sure!

    Two thumbs up! My 4 year old gobbled it up. My 18 month old could of done without the spice. My husband loves them and thinks we should make them when guests come over.
