Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Stir in tortilla pieces with cream of mushroom soup, black olives, 3/4 can of the diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese and mix to combine all of the ingredients. Transfer to casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks For extra flavoring, add 2 more stalks of green onion. If you want a more ‘saucy’ casserole, add a half can or more of enchilada sauce. You can substitute the meat with ground beef or shredded chicken instead of ground turkey.
