Expert Tips

Regular ground turkey can contain as much fat and saturated fat as ground beef, so be sure to use extra lean (99% fat free) ground turkey breast.

Garlic-pepper blend can be purchased in the spice section of the grocery store. It's a mixture of garlic powder, ground pepper and other seasonings. If not available, use 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder instead.

My husband made this this week for dinner. Flavor was really great and satisfied my Mexican food craving without the grease and the heartburn! Well definitely make these again.

Wow - 800mg. of sodium for one enchilada. Not so good if you're following a cardiac diet.
