Preparation
Step 1
To make sauce: heat olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Sprinkle flour and cook, while stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and chili powder and continue to cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth and chipotle until smooth (plus adobo sauce if you’re using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chili powder and cook for another minute or so. Season with a nice pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
Add 1/4 cup ground turkey to each tortilla and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam side down in casserole dish. Ladle the sauce over the enchiladas to completely cover and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes then remove foil and cook for 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with roughly chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes before serving. Add a nice dollop of Greek yogurt, if desired.
