Chilaquiles with Turkey and Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Ingredients

• 14.5 oz chicken broth canned
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves fresh
• 16 oz corn tortillas cut into 1/-wide strips
• 0.3 cup crème fraîche sour
• 1.5 tablespoons milk 
• 1 cup monterrey jack cheese shredded
• 1 large onion chopped
• 3 oz queso fresco crumbled
• 6 servings salsa verde 
• 4 cups turkey meat shredded cooked
• 3 cups vegetable oil 

Equipment

• bowl
• frying pan
• paper towels
• oven
• whisk

Directions

1. Heat oil in a 3 1/2-quart flameproof nonreactive shallow casserole or deep skillet to 375°F. Fry tortillas in batches, turning occasionally, until golden, about 1 minute, and transfer to paper towels to drain (return oil to 375°F between batches). Carefully pour off all but 1 tablespoon hot oil into a large metal bowl to cool before discarding.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook onion in oil in casserole over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened.
3. Add broth and turkey and simmer, uncovered, stirring, until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
4. Add 2 1/2 cups salsa and bring to a boil.
5. Remove from heat and toss with Monterey Jack and tortilla strips.
6. Bake chilaquiles, uncovered, in middle of oven until bubbling, about 15 minutes.
7. Whisk together crème fraîche and milk.
8. Serve chilaquiles topped with crème fraîche, cilantro, and cheese.
9. We used a 12- by 2-inch round enameled cast-iron casserole to assemble and bake our chilaquiles. The wide shallow casserole gave us just enough room for frying and mixing. It also allowed for a nice balance of crisp tortillas on top and softer ones on the bottom.
