I received Turkey Drums from Frick’s Meats to use in a recipe contest. All opinions are my own.
Y’all know how much I enjoy a good enchilada. Well, I devour Mexican food in general but there is nothing like a tasty, cheesy enchie to get me going during the cold weather months. I received a sample of Frick’s MeatsFreshTurkey Drums to use for a recipe contest and I will say… these make some damn tasty enchiladas!
Let me tell you about Frick’s. They were established in 1896 in the good ole USA and are run by five generations and counting. They believe in doing things the right way, not just the cheap and fast way. This philosophy delivers quality fresh meats that are perfect for your recipes. And that is highly evident in their turkey drums.
Because of this commitment to quality, these turned out to be perfect for enchiladas. Using the fresh turkey drums and mixing it with some enchilada sauce and cream cheese, the result is an enchilada with a great smokey taste which will really tickle your tastebuds.
You can make this super easy recipe any weeknight and even have leftovers for lunch the next day. Leftovers make the best work lunches as far as I’m concerned because I just get plain tired of the basic sandwich and chips. I’d much rather have some homemade goodness.
