Green Chile Turkey Enchiladas

Today we are transforming those tasty leftovers into a meal everyone will love, enchiladas!  Shredded turkey is combined with green chiles and green enchilada sauce, topped with cheese and baked until bubbly. Have a few leftover cranberries; well top those creamy enchiladas with a quick cranberry relish for a fresh zing.

These enchiladas are easy to pull together with the help of my amigos over at Old El Paso.  I picked up a few cans of green enchilada sauce before the big turkey day, since I knew I would have a leftovers.  The recipe came together in a snap, bubbly and delicious.
