- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut the 3 whole-wheat (8-inch) tortillas into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound lean ground turkey. Cook, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until no pink remains.
- Add the medium onion, finely chopped, to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened.
- Drain any excess liquid or fat from the skillet.
- Stir in 12 ounces salsa, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Mix until evenly combined.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a 9 x 13 inch casserole pan and spread it into an even layer.
- Evenly distribute the tortilla pieces over the meat layer, then sprinkle 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the tortillas.
- Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole stand a few minutes before serving. Top with diced avocado and diced tomato if desired.
