  2. Mix turkey, onion, chili powder, sea salt, cumin, diced chilies in skillet
  3. Cook over medium heat until turkey is browned
  4. Add garlic and cook another 3-4 minutes (to keep garlic from burning)
  5. Pre-heat oven to 350
  6. Coat a glass baking dish with enough canola oil (or olive oil) to coat the bottom
  7. Place each tortilla on a cutting board or other surface
  8. Add small amount of turkey mixture to center of each tortilla making sure you can still fold the tortilla into the shape of an enchilada
  9. Add small amount of cheese(s) to top of turkey

  11. Roll the tortilla closed and place in baking dish
  12. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas
  13. Sprinkle enough cheese(s) to cover everything
