6. Turkey Enchiladas
We love enchiladas! Since they break free of the traditional Thanksgiving-style meal with their spiciness, they are the perfect meal for using up leftover turkey. Simply mix a large can of enchilada sauce, a 16oz pack of shredded Mexican cheese, a can of diced chilies, and shredded leftover turkey in a large bowl. Spoon the mixture into corn tortillas and place fold side down in a baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over the top, sprinkle with Mexican cheese, and bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Easy peasy and super delicious!
