  • Add spinach, turkey, and corn. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes.

  • Add the cream cheese, salt & pepper, stirring until the cream cheese melts.

  • Remove turkey mixture from heat and set aside.

  • Pour the salsa in a small pot and keep warm over low heat.

  • Spoon the salsa down the length of each enchilada and sprinkle cheese on top.
