Leftover Turkey:Turkey and Corn Salsa Verde Enchiladas

The savory kick of Anaheim chilies mixed with roasted corn and shredded turkey makes for a perfect burrito, enchilada or taco.  I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey to start this dish and then combined it with green enchilada sauce before roasting it in the oven at 350 for an hour. Yum!
The Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups shredded turkey
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 diced onion
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce (recipe below)

Instructions:
  1. Shred the turkey. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a ceramic roasting dish combine the ingredients together.
  3. Cook in the oven for 1 hour. Serve immediately or store for later





The Recipe

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup Anaheim or poblano chiles, roasted and peeled OR 1 cup canned diced green chiles, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium jalapeno, finely diced (optional)


DIRECTIONS
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and garlic and cover. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring once or twice to make sure the garlic and onions aren't sticking (adjust the heat if they are). Cook until the onions are soft but not browned.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. It's ok if the flour clumps around the onions, just keep stirring to let the flour get golden and toasty.
  3. Gradually add the broth, whisking quickly and constantly to smooth out any lumps.
  4. Add all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be silky and thickened - able to coat a spoon but still drip off. Add more broth to thin out if needed.
  5. Add additional salt to taste, if needed. The sauce can be processed in a blender if you prefer a smoother consistency. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Otherwise, it can be frozen - probably up to a month or two if well sealed.

Wonderful recipe. I am saving this for after Thanksgiving. I wonder how good this would be using shredded chicken...
