Monday!! (Turkey Enchilada Pie)

Cooking saves me..  it makes me happy when I am sad,  it pulls me back from the dark recesses of depression,  it reminds me of all the wonderful people that I have had the privilege of cooking with..   It makes me thankful for all the memories..  I reach for my mom's iron skillet and remember making chocolate frosting in it.. a recipe that is still giving me fits..  I have so many wonderful memories that are centered around cooking and I am so thankful for all those memories.

Tonight for dinner another new recipe.. it is supposed to be Beef Enchilada Pie,  but I am substituting ground turkey for the beef..

Olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground turkey
1  10oz can enchilada sauce
