Turkey Zucchini Enchiladas

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT VIEW IN ENGLISH

I'm a huge enchilada fan, so I was a little bit timid to the idea of putting zucchini in an enchilada, but the results made me a believer. I found the original recipe on Pinterest, but adjusted it a bit to taste. This is such a lighter recipe when compared with a lot of other cream based recipes, and the turkey supplies a lean source of protein. Throw these enchiladas in the oven, and you have a complete meal. This recipe also makes for great leftovers the next day.
