"The March wind roars

Like a lion in the sky,

And makes us shiver

As he passes by.

When winds are soft,

And the days are warm and clear,

Just like a gentle lamb,

Then spring is here."

Turkey Enchiladas

Turkey Enchiladas Harvest Haven Style

This is one of our favourite recipes – easy to make, uses simple ingredients, can be made ahead and frozen, makes a lot or few, kids enjoy them, the kids can even help.

3 cups shredded cooked Harvest Haven turkey
2 cups sour cream
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (part Jalapeño Cheddar cheese is good)
1 – 2 green onions, minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
8 – 9 flour tortillas
2 – 3 cups salsa

Combine turkey with sour cream, cheese, onion, lemon juice, and salt.
Spread mixture down centre of each tortilla, roll up, and arrange them side by side with seam sides down in 9" X 13" pan that has been buttered and spread with a thin layer of salsa.

Pour remaining salsa over top and bake in 350° F oven until heated through, about 20 – 30 minutes.

Down on the Farm

In the previous Harvest Haven Happenings, you heard about our high tech surveillance of the lambing barn. We're happy to say it's working and Martin is putting it to use as the lambs have started to come.
