Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground turkey; cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.

Step 3

Combine cottage cheese, egg, and cumin in a small bowl.

Step 4

Stir enchilada sauce and diced tomatoes into the pot; simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread ⅓ turkey sauce in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish; cover with ½ corn tortillas. Spread ½ cottage cheese mixture on top; sprinkle with ⅓ Mexican cheese. Repeat layers once more. Top with remaining ⅓ turkey sauce and ⅓ Mexican cheese.

Step 6

Coat a large piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray; cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, coated-side down.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking until top is browned, about 15 minutes. Cool before serving, 15 minutes; garnish with green onion.
