Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound ground turkey sausage
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Enchiladas
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded plant-based cheese
- Optional garnishes: freshly chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, dollop of plant-based sour cream
Instructions
- Prep the Sausage Gravy: Cook the ground turkey sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon and cook for an additional two minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage mixture and stir well to coat, cooking for one minute to eliminate the raw taste. Slowly whisk in the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens nicely. Season with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of natural gelling agent for perfect creaminess. Set aside.
- Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave to make them soft and flexible. This ensures they wrap around the filling without tearing.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the sausage gravy onto it, then top with shredded plant-based cheese. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish to keep everything intact.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour any remaining sausage gravy over the rolled enchiladas for extra flavor and moisture. Sprinkle additional plant-based cheese on top to melt and brown. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden around the edges.
Notes
- Choose smoked turkey bacon for authentic smoky flavor that balances the richness of the gravy.
- Stir the gravy constantly while adding milk to avoid lumps and achieve smoothness.
- Warm tortillas just enough to make them pliable without drying them out.
- Feel free to double the cheese for an even creamier bite.
- Prepare the gravy in advance and refrigerate, then assemble and bake fresh in the morning.
