    Low Carb Tortillas

    There are many store bought low carb tortillas available now, or you could use a homemade recipe. We have a few recipes for low carb and gluten-free tortillas you may want to try.

    Variations

    The enchilada sauce could be swapped with a green enchilada sauce.

    Omit the low carb tortillas and spoon the filling mixture into the baking dish. Bake as a keto enchilada casserole instead.

    If you want more vegetables in your enchiladas, fry up sliced bell peppers and onions to add to the filling mixture.

    Storage

    Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep them in an air tight container.

    Reheat the turkey enchiladas in the oven until they are heated through. You might want to cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the dish becoming too dry.

    What to Serve with Keto Turkey Enchiladas

    This is hearty dish by itself but you could serve this with some sour cream on the side, a bowl of guacamole or a green salad.

    Other low carb side dishes that go well with this dish are:

    FAQ

    CAN I MAKE TURKEY ENCHILADAS RECIPES WITH GROUND TURKEY?

    Yes you can, but you will need to cook the ground turkey before assembling the filling.

    CAN I USE LEFTOVER CHICKEN INSTEAD OF TURKEY?

    This recipe can use left over roast chicken or even rotisserie chicken in place of the turkey.

      Maybe I'm blind, but no where do you tell us what temperature this needs to be baked at. So guessing 350° 🤷‍♀️

        No, you are not blind, I had left this out but now have updated the recipe card. You are correct at 350 though!
