This Turkey Tortilla Bake is a delicious and easy dinner idea! And a great recipe for leftover turkey.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 boneless skinless turkey breast
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded cheese (I like to use Monterey Jack)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 8 – 6 inch corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese
  • fresh cilantro for garnish
  • extra salsa for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place the turkey breast into a saucepan, cover it with water, and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat, and simmer until the turkey is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. When the turkey is cooked, remove it from the pan, and cut it into bite sized pieces.
  4. While the turkey is simmering, in a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, 1 1/4 cups shredded cheese, 1/2 cup salsa, green chilis, cumin and pepper.
  5. Add the chopped turkey, and combine. Set aside.
  6. Lightly oil a rectangle baking dish (8.5×11). I like to spray it lightly with a cooking oil spray.
  7. Cut the tortillas into 2 inch wide strips, then line the bottom of the baking dish with half of the cut pieces.
  8. Spread out half of the turkey mixture onto the tortilla pieces.
  9. Then add the remaining tortilla pieces, evenly lined up over the turkey mix.
  10. Spread out the remaining turkey mix.
  11. Sprinkle on 3/4 cup shredded cheese and the chopped cilantro.
  12. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and bake for 30 minutes more.
  13. Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes, and serve with fresh cilantro and salsa!
