Weight Watchers Turkey Enchiladas

I love enchiladas. They’re so delicious and they’re actually really easy to make. We make a few different varieties that are all Weight Watchers friendly.

Easy dinner recipes are my jam and I love when they can also translate into lunches or re-heatable dinners throughout the week. If you are looking for a quick dinner recipe that you can also reheat leftovers from for several days you’ll love these Weight Watchers turkey enchiladas.

Here’s what you’ll need to make Weight Watchers turkey enchiladas:

For these turkey enchiladas we are breaking the ingredients down into two categories: the sauce and the filling / enchiladas themselves.

For the sauce you will need olive oil, flour, chicken bouillon, light sour cream, poblano peppers, and jalapeño peppers. You can leave the Jalapeno’s out if you really do not like any spice, etc. Keep in mind that the recipe is calculated for Weight Watchers so if you make changes you’ll need to recalculate for yourself!

The filling uses extra lean ground turkey, pepper jack cheese, onions, and mission carb balance wraps!

How to make turkey enchiladas with poblano sauce:

Heat the oven to 400.  Place the poblano and jalapeno peppers directly on the oven rack and cook, turning occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until beginning to blister outside.

Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate for a few minutes. Remove, peel, seed and roughly chop the peppers.

In a large skillet, melt the butter.  Whisk in the flour until well combined.  Add the water and bouillon for a few minutes until thick and bubbling.

Combine the ground turkey, onion and 1 cup of the pepper jack in a medium bowl.  Set aside.

In a food processor, combine the poblano, jalapenos and sour cream until well blended.  Whisk into the butter mixture.

Pour one cup of the poblano cream sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 pan.

Place around ¼ cup of the filling into each flour tortilla and roll up.  Place, seam side down in the dish, repeat until done.

Top the filled tortillas with the remaining poblano cream sauce and top with the remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.
