- In a heavy skillet, heat the oil and saute the onion until softened. Remove and drain.
- Add additional oil to the skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch and reheat. Lightly fry a tortilla in the oil until softened. Remove and dip the tortilla into the hot mole sauce and place on a baking sheet or oven proof serving dish.
- Place some of the turkey on the tortilla and top with some of the sauteed onions and cheese.
- Roll up the tortilla ending with the seam remaining on the bottom. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour additional sauce over the enchiladas.
- Either quickly reheat the enchiladas in a 350 degree oven, under a broiler, or in a microwave oven. Garnish with additional cheese and serve.
