Easy to make, these turkey enchiladas can be made casserole style, meaning just layer all the ingredients, which makes preparing this dinner that much easier. Start with a little sauce in the bottom of the baking dish, then add a layer of tortillas. Next, sour cream, turkey mixture, cheese and then repeat and finally top with additional cheese and sliced olives. Cover with foil and pop in the oven.
