[blue_heading] Slow Cooker Turkey Enchilada Quinoa $1.67 per serving(8) [/blue_heading]

The other day I just finished washing my dishes and then it dawned on me that I still had to cook dinner…agh!

So with a clean kitchen I wanted to make a dinner that was both minimal in mess and would be a big enough portion to last me most of the week; it was a Sunday.

I went looking around online; which for good or bad is where I get my inspiration for most of my recipes. I came across an interesting slow cooker recipe for an enchilada style dish that was simple and low mess.

I call it a one pot dish but technically it involves browning your meat first before adding it to a slow cooker. So I guess although however close it comes with that very small disadvantage; it’s still a very low mess bulk meal!

If you have fresh cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, jalapenos you can easily add these into this recipe. Top with some shredded cheese and MAN-O-MAN this is good stuff!

Ingredients
Servings: people
Instructions
  1. Start by browning your ground turkey in a pan on medium to high heat.
  2. Rinse and chop up your onion and bell pepper. *If you like a bit more heat add a jalapeno pepper to the pot.
  3. You can use whatever brands or ingredients you'd like but this is what I used.
  4. Add your ground turkey to your slow cooker first then add in all other ingredients and mix well before turning your slow cooker onto high for 3 1/2 hours. *I added a splash of lemon juice but if I had lime that would of been just as good so go ahead and add that if you wish.
  5. After about 3 1/2 hours cooking on high heat it should look similar to this. Ad your cheese on top to melt a bit before serving.
  6. This WILL thicken up after it has cooled for a few minutes so place it a bowl and enjoy!
  7. My favorite way to eat this is to place my enchilada mixture into some warm tortillas and have at it.
