We Have a Winner!!! Turkey Enchiladas

[Uncle Nicky]

I was trying to think of what I could do with a turkey breast filet from one of the birds I shot- it had about a dozen pellets in it, my shot went a little low.

Anyway, I decided to try making enchiladas with it. They came out EXCELLENT!

The first step was to triple check I'd gotten all the feathers & 6-shot out of the breast. Next, I cooked it while I was at work in a crock-pot, and shredded the meat while still warm. I diced 1/2 an onion, sauteeed this in a few tablespoons of bacon grease, and added a few tablespoons of chili powder, cumin, and a shot of hot sauce, just enough to soften the onion and take the rawness out of the spices. I added a 1/2 cup of water and 1 small can of refried beans. Let the mixture cool slightly.

I divided the turkey/bean mixture evenly and filled 8 heated medium-size flour tortillas, and rolled them up in a cigar shape. Pour 1 small can of enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, and top with a healthy amount of monterey jack and cheddar cheese, cover with tin foil. Place in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for 1/2 hour, and serve. I made rice & fruit salad to go with it.

I would have taken a picture, but there were NO leftovers. I imagine this would work for duck or goose breast that is peppered with shot as well, I will give that a try next winter.
