These Thanksgiving Enchiladas creatively transform your leftover turkey, gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce into a comforting, satisfying meal. Wrapped in soft flour tortillas, baked with extra gravy and melted mozzarella cheese, this American-Mexican fusion dish is perfect for a delicious second-day feast.

Ingredients

Scale

Enchiladas

  • 6 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 3 cups leftover heated turkey gravy, divided
  • 1 1/2 pounds leftover cooked turkey (white or dark or both), shredded or chopped
  • 1 pound leftover stuffing
  • 6 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped small (or 2 tablespoons dried sage)

Topping

  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to properly heat while you prepare your enchiladas.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Ladle 1 cup of warmed turkey gravy evenly onto the bottom.
  3. Assemble the fillings: Lay out all six flour tortillas flat. Evenly distribute the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce in a line down the center of each tortilla.
  4. Add seasonings and roll: Sprinkle fresh chopped sage over the fillings on each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding the seam underneath to seal the filling inside.
  5. Arrange in dish and add gravy: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in the prepared casserole dish. Pour the remaining 2 cups of turkey gravy evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas.
  6. Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the gravy-covered enchiladas. Bake uncovered in the oven for 30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Broil for finishing touch: Place the casserole under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese lightly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve: Serve hot with extra whole berry cranberry sauce on the side for added tang and sweetness.

Notes

  • Since this recipe uses leftover ingredients, exact quantities can be flexible depending on what you have available.
  • Use either white or dark turkey meat or a mixture depending on your preference.
  • If fresh sage is unavailable, dried sage at half the amount works as a good substitute.
  • Ensure the turkey gravy is heated before assembling for best melting and flavor integration.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese by using cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend instead of mozzarella.
