  3. Brown the ground turkey in the same pan, seasoning with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  4. Mix in the beef broth, tomato sauce, and diced green chiles, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
  5. Warm the refried beans in a separate pot over medium-low heat.
  6. Assemble by laying out tortillas, filling each with refried beans, turkey mixture, and shredded cheese. Roll them carefully.
  7. Spread enchilada sauce in a casserole dish, place rolled enchiladas seam-side down, pour remaining sauce over and sprinkle with more cheese.
  8. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
