Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion, salt, and chili powder to skillet; cook, breaking apart turkey with wooden spoon, until turkey is browned, 7–8 minutes. Remove turkey mixture from skillet and set aside.

Place skillet back over medium-high heat and add flour. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in turkey mixture and cumin.

Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on High until softened, about 15 seconds. Place 4 tortillas in bottom of 9-inch pie plate, overlapping slightly to cover bottom. Spread ⅓ of turkey mixture over tortillas. Spoon ⅓ cup salsa on top and sprinkle with ¼ cup Cheddar. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
