Mexican Enchilada Lasagna
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 (28 ounce) can enchilada sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro
  • 1 (16 ounce) package small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 5 (6 inch) corn tortillas, halved
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • cooking spray
  • 1 green onion, diced
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a generous amount of oil in a substantial pot over an intermediate heat setting. Introduce the onion and garlic into the pot; stir constantly until the onion becomes transparent, approximately 5 minutes pass. Incorporate ground turkey into the mixture; cook until it loses its pink hue, roughly 5 minutes elapse. Discard any excess oil that accumulates.
2
Combine the turkey sauce and diced tomatoes in the pot; allow them to meld together, about 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat source.
3
Preheat your oven to a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
4
In a small bowl, blend the cottage cheese, egg, and cumin together.
5
Apply 1/3 of the turkey sauce to the base of an 8-inch square baking dish; cover it with half of the corn tortillas. Spread 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture on top; sprinkle 1/3 of the Mexican cheese above it. Repeat this layering process once more, concluding with the remaining turkey sauce and a generous helping of Mexican cheese.
6
Cover a large sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray; place it over the baking dish, ensuring the coated side is facing downwards.
7
Place the prepared baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until it's bubbly, approximately 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil; continue baking until the top is browned, roughly 15 minutes pass. Allow the dish to cool for 15 minutes before serving; garnish with green onion
