TURKEY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• While preparing Thanksgiving dinner, make the enchilada sauce:
• In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, ancho and arbol chiles, garlic, celery, carrots, coriander, cumin, and dill and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper then transfer to the roasting pan you will roast the turkey in.
• Roast the turkey according to your recipe. As the turkey roasts, its juices and fat will drip down and cook the enchilada sauce ingredients. (Keep in mind that if you baste the turkey with the turkey juices, they'll be flavored with your enchilada sauce ingredients. To avoid flavoring your turkey this way, baste with melted butter, turkey or chicken stock, or low-sodium chicken broth-or a combination of these.)
• When you remove the turkey from the oven to rest, check to see that the vegetables are tender and if necessary return them to the oven to finish cooking.
• Working in batches, transfer the enchilada mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth-if necessary, use a few splashes of water to loosen or thin the mixture and create a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: The enchilada sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 3 days, or frozen, up to 3 months.
• Assemble the enchiladas:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter 2 (9- by 13-inch) baking dishes. Spread about 1 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of each dish.
• Pick the meat off the leftover turkey carcass and transfer to a large bowl-you'll need about 4 cups of meat. Add half the remaining enchilada sauce, along with half the queso fresco and half the queso Chihuahua, and stir to combine.
• On a work surface, spread about 1 cup of the turkey filling on the bottom half of 1 tortilla and roll it up burrito-style, folding in the sides to seal them closed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Arrange the enchiladas tightly in the 2 prepared baking dishes then cover with the remaining sauce, followed by the remaining queso fresco and queso Chihuahua. DO AHEAD: The turkey enchiladas can be assembled up to this point, covered, and refrigerated, up to 24 hours, or frozen up to 3 months.
• Cover the enchiladas with foil and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is thickened and dark, about 1 hour. Serve immediately with sour cream and limes.

TURKEY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place chili pods in small pan with enough water to cover them. Add 1 tsp Kosher salt. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until no longer uncomfortable to touch. Remove the stem and drop into the blender bowl. I don't bother to remove the seeds but it's up to you.
• Add 8 ounces of diced tomatoes, garlic cloves, cider vinegar and the other tsp of Kosher salt. Blend on high until fully liquified. Set aside.
• Place turkey meat in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the chopped green onions and 1/2 cup of the chopped cilantro. Stir until well blended.
• Now add the chili sauce to the meat and stir well. Add the Mexican crumbled cheese and stir until you are satisfied that all ingredients are well distributed througout.
• Lightly cover the bottom and sides of two 9X13 baking pans with cooking spray. Take tortillas out of the package and wrap them in a moist, clean dish towel. Place in microwave for 30 to 45 seconds and bring them to your work area (careful, they may be hot! Using the microwave softens the tortillas and helps avoid tears).
• Now is the time to stuff and cook. Remember that the number of enchiladas you have at the end is directly proportional to how fat you stuff them. As a rule, I use three slightly rounded tablespoons of the filling per tortilla. But, "slightly" means different things to different people so play with it. Arrange the stuffed tortillas in each pan so that there is no space between them. I ended up with a total of 14 enchiladas.
• With a teaspoon, dot the top of the enchiladas with sour cream until you have used it all up. Now take a butter knife and spread the sour cream until it forms a thin layer.
• Open the can of green enchilada sauce and pour over the enchiladas until the sauce comes up to at least half way up. The enchiladas DO NOT need to be fully covered by the sauce but do try to pour some of the sauce over the top of each one if possible.
• Spread the 8 ounces of Mexican blend cheese evenly over all of the enchiladas. Spread the rest of the chopped green onions and cilantro evenly as well. For the final touch, decorate with the sliced black olives.
• Put in the middle rack of your oven and bake for 45 minutes to one hour. Since oven temperatures vary, check your enchiladas often and they should be ready when the top reaches a nice, golden brown.
• Enjoy! Or, as we say in my home country -- "Buen provecho".
