Next, crumble the turkey into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned. Drain any excess fat. Then add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook everything together until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, gravy mix, and chili powder, making sure everything is well combined. Add the corn and the cooked macaroni, then cover the skillet, lower the heat, and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Give it a stir now and then to keep everything from sticking.
To serve, spoon the casserole over a bed of tortilla chips and top with shredded lettuce and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
