This is one of the meals on my spring menu. A friend brought these Ground Turkey Spinach Enchiladas after I had a baby. They were delicious! So I reworked them to be gluten-free and to be less time-consuming to prepare. As a result, they are more of the flat plate enchilada style rather than the individually rolled enchilada.
