Other than a classic cheese enchilada, this is my next favorite flavor! I love using ground turkey because I can buy it extra lean. Sometimes I get sick of using chicken in recipes and to be honest with you, I don’t love chicken. I do love ground turkey! You could also substitute the ground turkey in this recipe for ground beef if you are not a ground turkey fan!
