My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
I love creamy enchiladas and these Cran-Turkey Enchiladas fit the bill. If you’re worried about dry turkey, don’t fret. With the sour cream, cheese, salsa, and cranberries, your turkey won’t taste one bit dry.
I’ve been making these enchiladas for years, and they’re always a hit. Even my picky mom loves them so much she now makes them herself and they’ve become her go-to meal to share with friends or family who need a little comfort.
The mix of cilantro, cranberries, and creamy Monterey Jack is just perfect. They’re great for Thanksgiving leftovers, but honestly, they’re delicious any time of year.
Need a quick way to get some turkey meat? Check your local grocery store for roasted turkey meat, I was thrilled when I found out mine carried it. Or in a pinch use chicken, for Cran-Chicken Enchiladas.
So cheers to family dinners, stuffing yourself full to the brim and fabulous food.
