Turkey Enchiladas

Thanksgiving is over.  We survived!  I hope it was a success and you had a wonderful time.  I know I said I would not see you til Monday but I just couldn't resist sharing this recipe before your leftover turkey is all eaten up.  

So now you have lots of turkey... what to do now?  Something a bit more creative and using different flavors than bread with turkey and gravy on it is ....turkey enchiladas.  This is one of my families favorite ways to use left over turkey.  it's very simple and just like you would do with ground beef or chicken.
