Ingredients:
1-1/2 lb. ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tbs. minced garlic
2 tbs. minced fresh oregano leaves or 1 tbs. dried
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salad oil
1 can (29 oz.) red enchilada sauce
Salt
12 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded reduced-fat jack cheese (8 oz.)
Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:
1. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, stir turkey, onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin in oil until turkey is crumbly and no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 cup enchilada sauce. Add salt to taste.

2. Meanwhile, cut tortillas in half. Arrange a fourth of the halves evenly over the bottom of a shallow 3-quart casserole, overlapping to fit. Sprinkle a fourth of the cheese evenly over the tortillas, then top with a third of the turkey mixture and a fourth of the remaining enchilada sauce, spreading each level. Repeat to make two more layers of tortillas, cheese, turkey mixture, and sauce; top with another layer of tortillas and sauce, then cheese.

3. Bake in a 425°F oven until cheese is melted and casserole is hot in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
