Turkey Enchilada Skillet

For some time now, I have been subscribed to Macro Friendly Food App which provides not only a catalog of recipes, but a monthly meal plan sent in PDF to your email box. The fee is worth it for me considering how often I like to try new things and when macro counting, having a recipe calculated out so I can just plug it in saves me so much time. If you are looking for easy, family friendly recipes, I highly recommend checking out the site. This recipe was from my January guide. I used Siete Foods Red Enchilada sauce instead of the green sauce only because the store was out of their green version. Those are my favorite enchilada sauces to use.
