I was looking through all the Mexican manicotti recipes and none of them use enchilada sauce. This is the product of that experiment. I suggest making recipe#71916. It is my go to sauce recipe. You can adjust the spice level by using a spicy or mild chili powder.

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • ground turkey1 lb
  • jalapeno1

    chopped

  • green pepper1

    chopped

  • taco seasoning3 tablespoons

    I use Penzey's Bold Seasoning

  • water1⁄2 cup
  • refried beans1 ounce

    I like to use black beans

  • manicotti12
  • enchilada sauce3 cups
  • monterey jack cheese1 1⁄2 cups

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven 350.

  2. 2

    Brown turkey, jalapeno, and green pepper until turkey is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile heat water and cook manicotti according to package directions. (I always make a couple extra noodles because one or two inevitably break.).

  4. 4

    Drain turkey (if needed). Add water and taco seasoning. Simmer for about five minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and add refried beans. Let cool, so you don't burn yourself when you stuff the noodles.

  6. 6

    Put a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of 13X9 pan.

  7. 7

    Stuff cooked noodles with turkey mixture and place in pan.

  8. 8

    Top with remaining enchilada sauce. Cook for 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Top with cheese and cook another 15 minutes.

  10. 10

    I like to serve mine with some shredded lettuce and tomato.
