Love this recipe. I have made this recipe a couple of times and am making it again tonight. Cannot wait for dinner tonight!

Everyone in the house loves this one, even the picky 5-year-old. There's rarely leftovers, and if there are, the husband and I fight over who gets to take them to work the next day.

I've made this recipe a few times. Love the spices and taste, but to combat the dryness I add about a 1/2 cup to 1 cup of taco sauce to the turkey mixture. This definetely helped and tastes great.

I think the reason these won a contest is because they are unique. My husband and I liked them OK, but not enough for me to bother to make again. As far as the topping goes, it was unusual but not at all objectionable. We had these with guacamole on the side, which really helped with the dryness and made the dish more tasty overall.

Terrific, tasty, delicious, awesome, wonderful! These were that good. The meat was perfectly seasoned, the sauce was different but really good and they went together perfectly.

I made this with ground beef instead of turkey. The sauce on top was fresh-tasting and an interesting change from the usual. It was very easy to put together, and my children tolerated it although they are not accustomed to Mexican-style food. I plan to make it one of my regulars.

I have been searching for 3 years now for an enchilada recipe that my husband would love, and this one hit the spot! Thank you! I used monterey jack cheese and didnt have a blender on hand so I just mixed the toppings in a bowl.. still turned out fabulous!
