Preparation
    Set oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
    In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey with onions and garlic (if using) until no longer pink, breaking into small pieces with a spoon.
    Add in 1 cup of Pincante sauce, spinach, 1-1/2 tsp cumin, salt, and the diced tomatoes. (tomatoes can be slightly drained for a less thinner mixture).
    Cook, and stir for 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
    Add in the cream cheese, stirring just until melted and combined.
    Spoon about 1/3 cup of filling down the center of each warmed tortilla; roll up, and place seam-side down in a the prepared baking dish.
    In a bowl combine the remaining 1 cup of Picante sauce and the remaining 1/2 tsp cumin, then spoon over the enchiladas.
    Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until hot.
    Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, return to the oven, and bake for 5 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted.
    Top with toppings that are listed, or top with your favorite toppings.
