30 Minute Layered Turkey Enchilada Casserole Recipe.
I absolutely love Mexican food. The flavors are so strong and rich, making it that much harder to say no to seconds. When I am crunched for time, I’m make one of my family’s favorite dishes, my 30 Minute Layered Turkey Enchilada Casserole Recipe.
This Turkey Enchilada Casserole Recipe is loaded with a ground turkey and cheese mixture – that even by itself, tastes so good! How do I know? I usually scoop up a bit with a couple tortilla chips while I am making it.
This 30 Minute Layered Turkey Enchilada Casserole is perfect for a family meal, a church dinner or potluck. Once you grab a serving, everyone can customize it to their own preference.
You can top this Turkey Enchilada Casserole Recipe with pico de gallo, sour cream, black olives, jalapenos, shredded lettuce, or guacamole. It would be fun to set out your toppings and make an enchilada bar! There’s something fun and festive about serving it that way, don’t you think?
You can also make this Turkey Enchilada Casserole Recipe as gluten free! You can swap out the flour tortillas for gluten-free flour or corn tortillas. It’s a simple ingredient swap that doesn’t affect the flavor at all. This way, anyone with a gluten sensitivity won’t feel left out.
