Steps:
- 1. In a skillet, saute 1/2 cup onion, garlic, mushrooms, salt and white pepper to taste, plus bell pepper in butter. (*Add chopped spinach if you desire.) Add turkey and mix well. Set aside.
- 2. Make the white sauce; then add 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese to sauce and stir until cheese melts. Add half of sauce to turkey mixture. If you use corn tortillas dip in hot oil for 2 -3 seconds and set aside; for flour tortillas warm in a hot skillet on both sides for a few seconds and set aside.
- 3. Fill each tortilla down the middle with several spoonfuls of turkey mixture, cheddar cheese, and remainder of yellow or white onion. Roll up as in a jelly roll and place seam side down in a 13" x 9" casserole dish. Some times I use a lipped cookie sheet so you don't crowd them, but this is a preference for serving.
- 4. Add the sour cream to remaining white sauce and stir. Pour over enchiladas. Top with remaining Moneterey Jack cheese and green onions. Cook approximately 20 - 25 minutes in 350 degree oven or until cheeses start to bubble. Serve with salsa and chopped tomatoes.
- 5. White Sauce: Melt 1/4 cup butter in sauce pan. Using a whip, stir in 4 tbs. flour. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, and cook over medium heat until thickened.
BELL PEPPER ENCHILADAS
Peppers are probably the vegetable that gets used most frequently in my kitchen. My freezer's constantly stocked in case I discover a new recipe to try or want to whip up an old favorite again. In a way, my parents helped create this recipe. They always taught never to waste. So one day when my husband (I'm a stepmom to two girls, 18 and 15) and I had prepared a Mexican meal and had peppers, cheese, salsa and tortillas left over, these were the result! -Melissa Cowser, Greenville, Texas
