['3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup vegetable oil', '1 3/4 cups finely chopped onions', '1 28-ounce can enchilada sauce', '5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped', '1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chilies*', '1 cup chopped fresh cilantro', '3 cups coarsely shredded cooked turkey', '2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese', '3/4 cup sour cream', '12 5- to 6-inch corn tortillas', '*Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce are sold at Latin American markets', 'at specialty foods stores and at some supermarkets.']

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add enchilada sauce, tomatoes and chipotles. Cover; simmer 20 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup cilantro. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Mix turkey, 11/2 cups cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup onions and 1/2 cup cilantro in bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 tortilla until pliable, about 20 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
