Seven Days for Seven Dinners; pt1

I am the girl of 100 lists
from what shall I wear to who I have kissed
Check items off, let nothing be missed
Sing I to myself and my 100 lists!

So now that the list has been made, can I stick to it?

First up, Enchilada Casserole. We got the beef! Err, well, we got the bird? TURKEY Enchilada Casserole. This one's a fam favorite... hadn't made it in awhile, it was welcomed back warmly...like a reunion tour.

Started with 3 packages of "on sale" ground turkey

Added the dream team of flavors and some pantry staples including 2 large cans (or 1 lg and 2 sm) of enchilada sauce, tortillas leftover from fajita night, and shredded cheese.

Brown the turkey and add seasonings.

While turkey is cooking, mix up the mexi rice:

1.5 C long grain white rice

3 C chicken broth

1/2 sm can enchilada sauce

Cook as directed. (For me, that's micro cooker on full power for 5 mins and 50% power for 16 mins.)

Add 1/4 c diced tomatoes after cooking, if desired.

Pour 1 small can (or half large can) of enchilada sauce into 9x13 pan

Scoop out 2+ ladles worth of the browned turkey, sprinkle with shredded cheese

Roll up and place in pan. These are HUGE tortillas, only needed 5 to fill pan with enchiladas touching, but not smashed together, nor room to slide around.

Then pour the rest of the small can opened for rice and the other cans of sauce. Cover with rest of shredded cheese. Place in oven for 30 mins at 350.

Once baked, allow to sit for 10-15 before attempting to cut and serve.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and maybe even a pitcher of Crystal Light Mocktini Margaritas.

 For the leftovers, no need to repurpose these... they divvied up into 4 lunch portions and reheat well.
