Turkey & Spinach Healthy Enchiladas

Turkey And Spinach, Creamy Green Chile Enchiladas – A Healthier Option

February 9, 2016 By //  by Lauren 2 Comments

Turkey & Spinach Healthy Enchiladas

I love rich and creamy enchiladas, but with all the cheese, tortillas and greasy goodness, I don’t indulge as often as I’d like to. We all know diets don’t work when you feel like you’re missing out, so this healthier option will satisfy the craving without packing on the pounds. Not only are these turkey and spinach, creamy green chile enchiladas full of flavor, they’re truly delicious and a great way to get your kiddos to eat their greens!

You will need:

1lb ground turkey

1 package fresh baby spinach

1 block of cream cheese ( I prefer the 1/3 less fat)

1 jar of green chile sauce (I prefer 505 brand in mild)

1 package whole wheat tortillas

1/2 cup Cheddar cheese

First, brown the turkey and drain any excess grease. While cooking turkey, chop spinach into about one inch or bite sized pieces. With ground turkey still warm, transfer to a large bowl and stir in spinach, cream cheese and 1/3 jar of green chile sauce.

Lightly grease a 9 x 11 dish. Portion a small amount into the middle of the tortilla, tuck in the ends and roll. Place rolled, stuffed tortilla seam side down in your greased baking dish.

Once you have filled all of the tortillas, top with the remaining green chile sauce and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes until the cheddar cheese on top is melty and delicious. I like to serve with brown Spanish rice or a quick quinoa salad. I hope your family enjoys these turkey and spinach, creamy green chile enchiladas as much as my family does.

    YUM! I’ve actually never made this with ground beef/ground turkey, but shredded chicken/turkey green chile enchiladas are a staple in our house! I may have to give ground turkey a shot some day. I’m from the 505 (New Mexico), so these make me feel like home. Next time you’re out and a bout, look for El Pinto green chile sauce—usually sold wherever you can get 505. It’s 1000 times tastier in my opinion 😀

      Hello four corners neighbor! Thanks for the tip I’ll have to check it out. Green Chile is a staple in our house too, so I’m excited to try a new one!
