This was a great, simple recipe. It didn't take long to make and turned out quite flavorful. Like some other reviewers, I made some minor adjustments. I added cilantro to bump up the flavor, seasoned the ground turkey, and added onion and garlic powder. I also mixed half enchilada sauce with half tomato sauce. Based on what I had in my cabinet, I used flour tortillas and 2 eggs. I'm definitely keeping this recipe!

You know, I just didn't like this as much as I was hoping I would. I'm not sure why, though. It didn't have a lot of zip, I think. Maybe I need to change up the salsa. Husband thought it was good, though.

This is a family favorite. I have changed the original recipe to fit my family's spicy taste. I add a can of Rotel tomatoes to the ground meat, and subsitute enchiliada sauce for the tomato sauce. Very Yummy!

Ok, this totally rocked! It was perfect for someone who loves lasange but hates the time involved to make it and the fat content! I did make some changes though; I used minced beef instead of turkey as I'm trying to add more red meat into our diet and added kidney beans as well. I have no idea what egg substitute is, so I used a normal egg instead. The whole cottage cheese/egg mix looks sooo revolting, but it turns out great! I used shredded light tasty cheese as that was all I had on hand, and it turned out perfectly! I also added some chilli powder, as DH and I like a bit of spice! I'm having leftovers for lunch today and really can't wait! Thanks for a great recipe!
