Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Add Greek yogurt and ranch seasoning to the turkey and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
- Add ¾ of the Doritos to a Ziploc bag and break into pieces about the size of a quarter. Add remaining ¼ of the Doritos to a separate bag to be used later.
- Lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or canola oil. Line the bottom of the pan with ½ of the broken Dorito chips. Top with ½ of the ground turkey.
- Next, add ½ of the corn, ½ of the tomatoes with green chilies and ½ of the cheese.
- Repeat adding remaining halves of doritos, ground turkey, corn, and tomatoes.
- Crush the second Ziploc bag of Doritos into fine crumbs. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole then add remaining cheese.
- Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Top with red onion and jalapenos. Garnish with cilantro and serve with shredded lettuce and cabbage.
Notes
Don’t over-crush the chips: Keep some larger pieces for texture in the layers.
Drain the turkey well: This keeps the casserole from becoming soggy.
Let it rest before serving: Allow it to set for a few minutes out of the oven for easier slicing.
Use a deep pan: A 9×13-inch casserole dish works best to hold all the layers without spillover.
