Green Chili & Cranberry Turkey Chalupa

1 1/2 pounds fresh ground turkey

1 medium yellow onion medium chop

3/4 cup fresh whole cranberries

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 14 oz.  can whole cranberry sauce

1 14 oz. can Green Chili Enchilada Sauce

2 cups shredded lettuce

2 cups shredded cilantro

1/2 cup shredded longhorn or sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

12 corn tortilla's

• In a medium saucepan add the Green Chili Enchilada Sauce and the Cranberry Sauce mix well and heat to simmer and simmer for 10 minutes. 

• In a hot skillet pour 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and saute the onion and fresh cranberries. 

• The onion needs to begin to caramelize and the cranberries will become soft and begin to pop open. 

• At that point add the turkey and cook the turkey until it is done.Add 2 cups of the simmering Enchilada and Cranberry Sauce mix to the turkey mix and bring back to simmer for 5 minutes. 

• Mix the shredded lettuce and the shredded cilantro together. Mix the two cheeses together. 

•  Now you are ready to start building the Chalupa. In a long sheet pan lightly spray the pan with a cooking oil. First the corn tortilla, second the turkey and sauce mix, next the lettuce and cilantro mix, then the mixed cheeses and last drizzle some of the sauce over the tops of the chalupa. 

• Bake in the oven at 425 degrees until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.

 It looks like rain is coming that will be good for the garden. I am so glad that you walked with me this morning, I always look forward to our visit.   Stop by on Monday and I will let you sample my new dessert it is so good. Hope to see you then.
Peace and Joy
