Cook ground turkey with onion & garlic until no longer pink. Add tomato paste, water, cooked rice, 2 c cheese, salsa and seasonings. Stir to mix well. Cook over low heat until thickens. Meanwhile, spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in bottom of 13 x 9 pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture onto tortilla and roll. Place enchiladas seam side down into pan. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with 1 c cheese. Bake at 350 for 10- 20 min. Makes 10- 12 enchiladas.
We like to top them with lettuce, tomato, green onions and cilantro for an authentic look and taste. Also a tbsp of low fat sour cream and extra salsa if you like.
