1. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, green enchilada sauce, and diced green chilies until well combined. Set aside.
2. Cook the Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the shredded turkey, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the turkey is heated through. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375¡ãF (190¡ãC). Spread a small amount of the creamy sauce in the bottom of a 9¡Á13-inch baking dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the turkey mixture, roll them up, and place seam side down in the baking dish.
4. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining creamy sauce over the enchiladas, making sure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese over the top.
5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced jalape?os, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
