Came across this recipe when I bought down my recipe box (old computer diskette holder) to clean.. posted the recipe instead :) ...a favorite from Better Homes and Gardens, warning...not popular with under 6 set unless they like spicy.  You have to watch the salsa because if you are a bit short on it then it can be dry.  The recipe is for 8 or 4 servings, I put the 4 servings amounts in brackets.

Nacho Turkey Casserole

5 (2 1/2) cups of slightly crushed tortilla chips

4 (2) cups of cubed cooked turkey or chicken

2 (1) 16oz jars salsa

1 10oz pkg (1 cup) frozen or canned whole kernel corn

1/2 (1/4) cup dairy sour cream

2 (1) tbsp all purpose flour

1 cup 4oz (1/2 cup 2oz) shredded monterey jack cheese with jalapeno peppers or mozzarella cheese

optional ....one thinly sliced jalapeno chile pepper

1) lightly grease  a 3 (2) quart rectangular baking dish. Place 3 ( 1 1/2) cups of the tortilla chips in bottom of dish. In a large bowl combine turkey, salsa,corn,sour cream, and flour, spoon over tortilla chips.

2) bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 25 min. sprinkle with remaining chips and cheese. bake, uncovered for 5 to 10 mins or til heated though. top with jalapenos if desired.

The Mexican restaurant close by has the real version of this dish....so yummy..called Chiliquiles - broken sombrero chips cooked in red salsa, available chicken, beef or chorizo). They do it with onions and cover it with sour cream and cheese. a favorite of ours..probably why I haven't made this casserole for a while!

Sorry for my dum question question can ground turkey work instead of the chucnk turkey?

Or would this be to mushy?

ps. Im kind of learning how to cook since I have retired...

There are no stupid questions!  I am sure ground turkey is fine but you would have to cook it first before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.  I think it was one of those get rid the thanksgiving turkey leftovers recipes :)  Since the chips are broken not in crumbs, it doesn't get mushy. I have made it too dry when I didn't quite have enough salsa.   When we tell people to try it at the mexican restaurant, they think gross cooked tortilla chips but it is good. better authenic of course but not everyone has an authenic mexican restaurant around the corner. 

I will try it your way it sure sounds good, tried it with left over chicken my mom went nuts she loved it so much That I will steal your cue...

Thanks

glad it worked out!
