Molé Enchiladas

Elevate turkey enchiladas by using molé as the sauce. In this recipe we use the Easy Molé Rojo from another 2 Cooks in the Kitchen recipe. This was part of a series of things to do with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. We made the molé with turkey broth and then shredded some turkey for the enchiladas.

  • Heat the turkey and 3/4 cup of molé in a saucepan over medium heat.
