Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Brown turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Stir in water and taco seasoning mix; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in green chilies. Set aside off heat.

Step 3

Spread a scant ⅔ cup enchilada sauce evenly over bottom of an 8x10-inch baking dish; top with 4 tortillas, overlapping if necessary. Spread ½ sour cream, ½ refried beans, ½ turkey mixture, and ⅓ cheese onto tortillas. Top with ⅔ cup enchilada sauce and 4 tortillas; firmly press down on tortillas to compact layers.

Step 4

Repeat layers, spreading remaining ½ sour cream, remaining ½ refried beans, remaining ½ turkey mixture, ⅓ cheese, and ⅔ cup enchilada sauce onto tortillas. Top with remaining 4 tortillas, remaining ⅔ cup enchilada sauce, and remaining ⅓ cheese.

Step 5

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and bubbling and casserole is hot, about 20 minutes.
