Turkey Enchiladas


1/4 cup reduced calorie tub margarine
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
9 ounces diced cooked turkey
1/2 cup canned green chilies, drained and diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2-1/2 tsp. low-sodium instant chicken broth mix
3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
4/12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Twelve tortillas

Preheat oven 350 – spray two 11-by-7-inch glass baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the margarine; sauté onion and green pepper 3 minutes, until softened. Stir in turkey and chilies; set aside.

To prepare sauce, in small skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons margarine. Stir in flour. Add chicken broth and 2 1/2 cups water; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes, until mixture is smooth. Reduce heat to low; cook 2 minutes longer. Whisk in yogurt and 1/2 cup of the cheese.

Pour 1/2 cup sauce into turkey mixture. Dip each tortilla, one at a time, into remaining sauce; fill each with about 1/4 cup turkey mixture. Roll tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Pour any remaining sauce over tortillas; sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese.

Bake until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
