Turkey Enchiladas

If you are here in the U.S. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. We did. I will post pictures later!

Whether or not you celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, here is a good recipe. It can be made with chicken or turkey. My mom made something similar to this when we were kids using left over turkey and I adapted my mom's recipe to come up with this one.

Turkey Enchiladas
INGREDIENTS:
Leftover cooked turkey or chicken (either white or dark meat pieces will do, I usually do a mixture of whatever I have)
1 can cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup
1 can diced green chilies
1 reg. size pkg. plain tortilla chips, crumbled
1 (8 oz.) pkg. Cheddar cheese, grated
1 (8 oz.) pkg. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 jar jalapenos (optional for additional "kick")

Saute onions in butter or margarine in medium skillet until golden brown. Add green chilies, soup, and 1 soup can full of water. Stir and simmer until heated. Crush tortilla chips. Spread a layer of chips in bottom of baking dish (about 1/2 of the bag). Scatter a layer of cooked turkey on top of chips. Spoon a layer of 1/2 of soup mixture over chips. Add jalapenos, if desired. Sprinkle with 1/3 of both grated cheeses. Repeat with remaining chips, turkey, and soup mixture; top with grated cheese. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until thoroughly heated and cheese is bubbly.

NOTE: This can also be cooked in the microwave oven by heating at medium high power until thoroughly heated and cheese is bubbly.
