I usually bake my turkey without using the brine method… I have done the brine method and really can’t tell any difference.

Belongs to Coker Family Turkey OR Chicken Acapulco

An extra special chicken enchilada.
Original recipe called for using left over turkey. I didn’t always have turkey, and the chicken seems to be much moister when prepared as directed; my family wants it mixed more often than just when I had left over turkey!
This can be made the day ahead for company dinner and is very impressive as a company meal. It also freezes very well.
You can serve a tossed salad or any other vegetable of your choice…guacamole, salsa and chips work well. And, I guess you could do the traditional rice and beans…but my family prefers a green vegetable as a side and maybe a congealed salad.

You might need to buy:

  • cream of chicken soup
  • sour cream
  • sliced mushrooms

  • raw Minute rice
