Рецепт Turkey and Zucchini Enchiladas with Tomatillo Verde Sauce
by Renee@MKA

A delicious healthy twist on enchiladas. Beef is replaced with ground

turkey and zucchini is used in the filling to bulk it up without

sacrificing any flavor. The addition of Herdez® Tomatillo Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce makes this dish easy and takes the flavor over the edge.

Your family will never know they are eating healthy!

One of this month's assignments for the AR Ambassador program was to develop a recipe (or two) using new Mexican cooking sauces from Herdez ® (Disclaimer: I received these sauces for free to review from AR and Herdez ®. The opinions, recipe, and pictures are mine and I have not been compensated for them other than receiving product samples.) My package included two of the four new sauces which currently have limited availability in California retail stores but can be purchased over the internet HERE from anywhere. Herdez ® plans to roll out the sauces nationally sometime this summer.

One of the sauces I got in my package was the Tomatillo Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce.

The Tomatillo is a staple in Mexican cuisine. Its green color and tart

flavor are its most distinguishing features. A vibrant and zesty blend

of tomatillos and chilies combined with a hint of cilantro give our

Tomatillo Verde Sauce its complex flavor and medium heat.

Ingredients: Tomatillo, Water,

Jalapeno Pepper, Iodized Salt, Soybean Oil, Dehydrated Onion, Coriander,

Garlic Powder and Xanthan Gum.

I loved this sauce. It has just the right amount of heat and worked great in the dish I created. I also loved that this sauce is made from natural ingredients, is low in calories, and low in fat. I have to admit, this is the first time I have ever used any products from Herdez ® and I know it won't be the last.

I've been adding shredded zucchini to my enchiladas for some time now. Not only does it give you another way to get veggies, the zucchini really takes on whatever flavors you add to the dish because it's so mild, and bulks up the filling without adding a ton of fat and calories. It also bumps up the overall fiber, which is a plus. I don't like my enchiladas to be dry, so I used 2 jars of the Herdez ® Tomatillo Verde Mexican Cooking Sauce in this recipe to both help flavor the filling as well as serve as the sauce for the enchiladas. This cooking sauce is so versatile.

So let's get cooking!

Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray a 13"x 9" baking dish with cooking spray Pour 1 cup of the Herdez ® sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Next make the filling. Just saute some

onions and garlic. Brown up the ground turkey. Add spices and 1/4 cup

of the Herdez ® sauce.

Assemble the enchiladas by putting about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of the filling

down the center of a flour tortilla. Top with 2 TBS shredded cheese and

roll up. Place in baking dish seam side down and repeat with all the

tortillas. Pour remaining sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with

remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes.

When done, remove foil and garnish with chopped onions, cilantro and sour cream.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 x 2 inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Take 1 cup of cooking sauce and spread it evenly on the bottom of the dish.

For enchilada filling: In a large nonstick skillet, sprayed with cooking spray, saute 1 cup onions for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add in garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add in the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Next, add in ground cumin, salt, chopped green chiles, cayenne (if using), salt, zucchini and 1/4 cup cooking sauce. Mix well and take off heat.

To assemble enchiladas: Take one flour tortilla and, in the center, put about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of turkey-zucchini mixture down the middle in a strip. Place about 2 TBS of cheese on top of turkey mixture and roll up. Place in prepared casserole dish with seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas, placing them in the pan side by side.

Pour the second jar of sauce on top of the enchiladas, coating them evenly with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover with foil.

Bake for 30 -35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the sauce is bubbly and the enchiladas are warmed through. Garnish with chopped onion, cilantro, and sour cream, if desired.

The two sauces I was given were both a hit! I want to try the two I didn't get and will probably be ordering them for myself from Mexgrocer.com in the near future. My family loves Mexican dishes and these sauces make it so easy...and they are delicious. I really enjoyed this AR assignment this month. I will share with you my second recipe using the other variety of sauce I got next week. I sort of went outside the box, so to speak, and made a cake!
