Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1-1/2 cups chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon plus 1/3 cup vegetable oil, divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 cups water
12 corn tortillas (6 inches)
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey, onions and garlic in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink; drain. Sprinkle with the flour, chili powder, seasoned salt and pepper. Add water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until reduced.
In another skillet, fry tortillas in remaining oil for about 15 seconds, turning once. Drain well. Cut nine tortillas in half. Place cut edge of one tortilla against each short side of a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Place cut edge of two tortillas against long sides of dish, overlapping to fit. Place a whole tortilla in center.
Spoon 2 cups of meat mixture over tortillas; sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas and meat sauce.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa. Yield: 8 servings.

It was a bit bland after all the spices and seasonings were added. While I thought it was bland, we will make it again but add more spices to add more dimension to the meat.

This recipe is ok - not very spicy, so if that's what you're looking for, it is fine. I would add more chili powder next time and probably more seasoned salt. I found it to be rather bland. Putting salsa on top helped, though. I'd never fried tortillas before so this was definitely an experience for me! I set the smoke alarm off a couple of times! All in all, not a bad recipe, but not worth a smoky kitchen!
