My family likes these enchiladas so much that they request a turkey dinner several times a year just so I'll make this dish with the leftovers. I usually double it because I feed three growing boys—two teenagers and my husband! —Beverly Matthews, Pasco, Washington

I also used chicken instead of turkey and it was wonderful. The fresh cilantro makes all the difference!

Finally a recipe that contains all of the ingredients I love in Mexican cooking. I especially love green enchilada sauce. Thank you Beverly for a great dish and thank you TOH for printing it.

I'm always looking for Chicken recipes so I tried this recipe using chicken. Delicious! Also, I'm not a fan of green sauce, so I used Red Enchilada Sauce instead. My family already is asking when I'll make this again!
