4 to 8 soft corn tortillas, warmed in the microwave or in a foil-wrapped pouch in the oven or toaster oven
1 1/2 ounces picked roast turkey meat per tortilla
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
Kosher salt
1/4 cup
or store-bought
per tortilla (see note)
1 tablespoon Mexican-style crema per tortilla (see note)
Crumbled cotija cheese for serving
Sliced white onions for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

1
Place a single tortilla on a cutting board. Add 1 1/2 ounce of turkey meat. Roll tightly into a cigar shape and rest on seam. Repeat with remaining tortillas and turkey.
2
Heat oil in a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Reduce heat to medium. Add enchiladas seam-side-down in a single row (you may have to work in batches). Cook without moving until crisp on first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn with tongs or a slotted spatula and cook on second side until crisp.
3
Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Season with salt immediately. If cooking in batches, cooked enchiladas can be held in a 200u00b0F oven while you cook the second batch.
4
To serve, spread half of sauce on a plate. Top with enchiladas and spoon remaining sauce on top. Drizzle with crema. Sprinkly with cotija, onions, and cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
