Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, or until turkey is no longer pink.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey with all of the ingredients except for the shredded cheese. Scatter 1 cup of the crushed chips on the bottom of the baking dish, and then pile ½ of the turkey mixture on top of the chips, then sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese on top of the turkey mixture. Pile the remaining turkey mixture on top of the cheese and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chips atop the casserole. So you will end up with 2 layers of cheese and 2 layers of turkey.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until heated throughout. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
