Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, onion, and salt. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the turkey is browned and the onion is soft. Done when 165°F.
Stir in the garlic, chili powder, water, and 1 tablespoon of the enchilada sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until the liquid has slightly reduced and the mixture is fragrant. Remove from the heat.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds to soften. Lay the tortillas flat, divide the turkey mixture between them, and roll tightly. Place them seam-side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes more until the sauce bubbles at the edges and the cheese is melted. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Done when cheese is melted.
