Very good comfort food flavour and easy to make. I did add some peppers (bell & jalapeño) to add flavour, nutrition, and volume.I used 5, 9" flour tortillas (did not fry them), as we can't get corn tortillas here. Next time I'll use just 2 cups water for the meat sauce, as the tortillas were soggy with 3 cups.
We really liked this! It had a lot of flavor and it was something different! ! I usually would make hamburger with this type of recipe so I was a little nervous about the turkey but it was really good!
I actually thought that my family and I wouldn't like this one, but we did. I did make some changes, including not using oil to cook the ground turkey, nor did I fry the tortillas. I also used 9 tortillas instead of 12 because I misread the recipe, but it still tasted good and saved some calories that way! I also added some pickled mild jalepeno slices that we had in the fridge (about 1/2 cup total) to the top of each layer to add some kick to it. I also ran out of chili powder 1/2 Tbsp. in, so I substituted about 1 1/2 Tbsp. taco seasoning for the rest of the it. Simple and yummy recipe that my family ate and didn't complain about!
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!
had left over BBQ so i chopped up ribs, links, sausage and chicken and followed the rest of the recipe exactly, really tickled the taste buds. Family loved it and we have actually decided that next time we will us the ground turkey. Marcia Schmiedt of Anchorage, you really out did yourself on this one!!!!!
Loved this casserole. I used ground beef instead of turkey.
WONDERFUL... I will certainly make this recipe again, simply because my family completely love it so much! The pickiest family member even volunteered to eat leftovers the next day! :)
Kids love it! Very tasty and makes a lot! Great for a big family!!!
this is economical and sinfully delicious love it
