Recipe View In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, about 10 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the mixture has thickened, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the drained green chiles and remove from heat.

Recipe View Spread a scant 2/3 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8x10-inch baking dish. Arrange 4 corn tortillas on top, overlapping as needed to cover the surface. Spread half of the sour cream, half of the refried beans, half of the turkey mixture, and 1/3 of the cheese blend evenly over the tortillas. Top with another 2/3 cup of enchilada sauce and 4 more tortillas. Gently press down to compact the layers.

Recipe View Repeat the layering process: Spread the remaining sour cream, refried beans, turkey mixture, 1/3 of the cheese blend, and 2/3 cup enchilada sauce onto the tortillas. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas. Finish the casserole by layering the remaining 2/3 cup enchilada sauce and the remaining 1/3 of the cheese blend on top.

Recipe View Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through, about 20 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained black beans or some sautéed onions and bell peppers to the turkey mixture.
To make ahead, assemble the lasagna and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
If you don't have an 8x10-inch baking dish, a similar-sized dish will work. You may need to adjust the number of tortillas used.
