Equipment

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound ground skinless turkey breast
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
9 ounces fresh spinach
3 ounces reduced fat goat cheese, crumbled
16 ounces tomatillo salsa (I used Pace Brand)
8 6-inch corn and wheat blend tortillas (I used plain wheat tortillas)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
lime wedges if desired, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the turkey with wooden spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Add spinach in batches and cook, tossing with kitchen tongs, just until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in goat cheese until melted and well blended.
Pour half of the salsa into the prepared baking dish.
Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon about 3 tablespoons filling down center of each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down into baking dish.
Pour remaining salsa over enchiladas.
Bake until hot, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with scallions and cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

The recipe calls for corn and wheat blend tortillas, which have a unique flavor but can be hard to find. If you prefer or can't find them, just use ordinary flour tortillas instead.

For milder flavor, substitute all or part light cream cheese for the goat cheese.
