Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the squash into 1-inch pieces, if needed. To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add squash and 3 tbsp water. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with vented plastic and microwave on high 6–8 min., until tender.

Meanwhile, in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the ground turkey and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 6–7 min., until turkey is fully cooked, breaking up large pieces with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1–2 min. Stir in the lentils and 1 tbsp water. Cook 2–3 min., until chili is thickened and lentils are warm. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Coat a rimmed baking sheet with the cooking spray. Arrange the tortilla chips on baking sheet. Scatter cooked squash over chips, then spoon turkey-lentil chili over top. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake 10–12 min., until cheese has melted. Garnish nachos with the tomatoes and cilantro.
Tips
Serve the nachos with guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, green onions, sour cream, or any of your favorite toppings.
