Ingredients
20 oz ground turkey1 tsp granulated garlic powder4 tsp Taco Seasoning mix1/2 medium onion, chopped1 block cream cheese1 tbsp chopped cilantro1 cup monterey jack or chihuahua cheese, shredded1 dozen corn tortillas1 12 oz can Low Sodium V-8 tomato/vegetable juice1/2 cup enchilada sauceSalt, Pepper to taste
Directions
Brown ground turkey in a nonstick skillet. During cooking (after 5 minutes) sprinkle garlic powder and continue stirring. After browned and when you hear "popping" as fond develops, add taco seasoning mix and stir. (You may add a 1/4 c water if you wish, but it's not necessary.) Set turkey aside and allow to cool.

Place cream cheese in 1 qt glass (microwave safe) bowl and heat in microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Stir until smooth and add cilantro. Combine. Add shredded cheese and set aside.

Combine V-8 and enchilada sauce in pie plate or other low-sided dish large enough to fit the diameter of a corn tortilla.

Use a Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker (or microwave-safe 3-4 quart casserole) to cook the meal.

Put 1/2 cup V-8/sauce mixture in bottom of Baker and gently shake container to cover the bottom. One at a time, place corn tortillas in the V-8/sauce mixture and place 4 coated tortillas in the bottom of the baker, overlapping if necessary.

Using a small scoop or teaspoon, place dollops of cheese mixture across tortilla layer, using 1/3 of mixture. Sprinkle 1/3 off chopped onion and cooked turkey on top of cheese mix. Repeat tortilla-cheese-onion-turkey layers 2 more times. Pour remaining sauce on top. Cover with baker lid and microwave for 11 minutes. Allow to "set" for 5 minutes (with lid on).

Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.
