Cooking Time1 hr
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cups cooked turkey, diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 (14.5-oz) can stewed tomatoes
-
Make the enchilada filling first. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add turkey, followed by flour and all spices for the filling. Mix well.
-
Stir in tomatoes and their juice. Use a pair of scissors to cut the tomatoes into small pieces. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
-
While the filling is simmering, make the enchilada sauce. In a small saucepan, add garlic and butter. Cook over medium heat until butter is infused and melted. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in broth, stirring constantly.
-
Bring the sauce to a boil. Stir in tomato sauce and all the seasonings. Cook until bubbly. Remove from heat.
-
Now, heat the oven to 350°F.
-
To assemble, pour 1 1/2 cups of the enchilada sauce in a 13×9-inch baking dish and spread to cover the bottom of the dish.
