Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm up. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula.

Once the turkey is nearly cooked, add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the meat with the spices.

Step 5

On a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer.

Step 6

Spoon the turkey and bean mixture evenly over the tortilla chips.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the meat and beans.

Step 8

Place the nachos in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Step 10

Top the nachos with dollops of Greek yogurt, followed by a layer of salsa.

Step 11

Scatter the diced tomatoes and avocado over the top.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.

Step 13

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the nachos.
