As written, yes a 1. This recipe really irks me. Where does the flavor come from? Cream cheese, tortillas, ground turkey and spinach (frozen at least) is flavorless. So the only flavor your really getting is from the cheese and salsa. TSP of cumin? really? Put in a TBSP, put in some chili powder, cayenne, paprika, ground pepper for gosh sake. Emerils southwest is a great addition to the kitchen. I also put a couple strips of bacon in with the turkey for some aromatics and a smokey flavor. Then, ACTUALLY PUT THIS TOGETHER AND SERVE IT LIKE A CASSEROLE. WHY not? Lay out the tortilla, get some brown rie in there, add your mixture, some of the cheese, even the beans. Why not. I even put a finely chopped onion into the rice and let it sweat in there. Wrap it up and throw it in the oven and follow the directions from there. Make all this food and only put a tsp of cumin into otherwise flavorless food. Try it my way and this is a 5 star recipe.

This turned out pretty good, I used whole grain tortillas, and they were great! I only used one pound of turkey because I buy the 1-pound rolls of it and didn't want to use just half of one, but next time I will use less cream cheese. I also added fresh cilantro to the filling and toppings. Added fresh tomato, red onion, cumin seeds, fresh garlic, and ground pepper for more flavor.

Be sure to cover the very ends with salsa for consistent texture, unless you like crispy tortilla ends.

I served it with homemade guacamole and instant brown rice, which I mixed with some diced tomatoes and red pepper seasoning.

Ended up making 10 enchiladas, froze left overs in freezer-safe bag, reheated 3 days later, and they were still pretty good!
