Up your dinnertime game with this simple enchilada pie, ready in under 45 minutes. Corn tortillas made a wonderful crust while ground turkey, sautéed with onion and spices, makes a flavorful filling. Salsa and cheese are layered on top before baking to yield an ooey-gooey Mexican-inspired delight. Super family-friendly, this dish is great for an easy weeknight or weekend meal. Stir 1 cup chopped thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry into the turkey mixture to add more veggies and make this a one-dish meal or add a side salad or your favorite steamed vegetable for a complete meal. If you have leftover turkey from a holiday meal, shred and sub 1/2 pound for the ground and just heat through to get a wonderful second dish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion, salt, and chili powder to skillet; cook, breaking apart turkey with wooden spoon, until turkey is browned, 7–8 minutes. Remove turkey mixture from skillet and set aside.
  2. Place skillet back over medium-high heat and add flour. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in turkey mixture and cumin.
  3. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on High until softened, about 15 seconds. Place 4 tortillas in bottom of 9-inch pie plate, overlapping slightly to cover bottom. Spread ⅓ of turkey mixture over tortillas. Spoon ⅓ cup salsa on top and sprinkle with ¼ cup Cheddar. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
  4. Cover pie plate with foil and cook until cheese melts and filling is warmed through, about 20 minutes. Let stand, covered, 2 minutes before cutting into 6 wedges.
