Tried and True: Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas

Recently, I came across this show, Recipe Rehab, where they take a recipe and two chefs revamp something that is high calorie into something that is much healthier and full of flavor.  The episode that I came across centered around a family’s cheese enchilada recipe.  It looked delish but the calories had me going “Oh heck no!”  Well, there was a familiar face on there – Jaden from Steamy Kitchen and she made a recipe with ricotta cheese that lightened everything up.  There were a couple other tips in the episode that got me thinking and I decided to play in the kitchen.  What resulted was an inspired tried and true recipe for Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas that I will use from now on. Plus – a homemade enchilada sauce is so much better than the canned in my opinion.  Make sure to give this recipe a try and don’t forget the cocoa – trust me on this.  It adds this flavor that you just can’t get from a jar.
