  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch pie pans.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add turkey, corn, beans, diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, chili powder, cumin, and salt; cook and stir until well blended and warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place a pie crust in the bottom of each prepared pie pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of remaining Cheddar cheese into each. Gently add filling and spread evenly. Top each with a remaining pie crust, and fold and pinch around the edges to seal. Cut a few slits into the top crusts to release steam when baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cover the edges with aluminum foil if they begin to brown too much.
