Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked Turkey, diced
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 4 oz can Chopped Green Chiles
- 1 28 oz can Green Chile Enchilada Sauce (I use La Palmas)
- 12 Grain Free Tortillas (Homemade Cassava Flour Tortillas or Siete Grain Free Tortillas)
- 1 4 oz can Sliced Olives
- Avocado Oil or Olive Oil for cooking
- Optional Toppings:
- Green Onion
- Avocado
- Salsa
- Sour Cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Prepare tortillas. If using Homemade Cassava Tortillas, prepare as directed. If using store bought, heat skillet over med-high heat and carefully cook tortillas. Tortillas should still be pliable to roll enchiladas without breaking.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat oil. Sauté onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes or until onions are translucent. Remove from heat and add turkey, green chilis and ½ cup enchilada sauce. Stir to combine.
- Prepare enchiladas. Spread ½ cup enchilada sauce to coat the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place tortillas one at a time on the bottom of the pan. Add a spoonful of turkey mixture and roll the tortilla placing seam side down. Continue with remaining tortillas. Spread some enchilada sauce over the top of rolled enchiladas. (You will likely have leftover enchilada sauce). Garnish with sliced olives. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Spiced Cranberry Sauce
Spiced Cranberry Sauce is delicious with roasted turkey or prime rib or as a holiday treat served with a scoop of whipped cream on top.
Notes
For a more traditional version, omit the cinnamon and cloves.
*Simply28, Paleo, Whole30 and SIBO friendly. Gluten and dairy free.
Ingredients
- 12 oz package Fresh Cranberries
- 2/3 cup Honey
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Cloves
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, combine all 5 ingredients. Bring to a slow rolling boil stirring occasionally to prevent boiling over. Cranberries will begin to pop. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until popping stops. If whole cranberries remain, smash against the side of pan with a slotted spoon or masher. Sauce will be chunky and will set up naturally when cool. Will keep for several weeks refrigerated.
- Cranberries are a SUPER FOOD! Rich in many vitamins and antioxidants, cranberries provide cleansing support for the kidneys and bladder, can help with urinary tract infections and help prevent cancer.
