Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook turkey and onion in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from heat, add cumin and next 5 ingredients (stirring through beans). Stir well, set aside.
Arrange half green chiles in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish, top with 1/4 cup cheese. Spoon mound of turkey mixture onto cheese, spreading evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around edge of dish. Top with corn. Arrange remaining green chiles over corn, top with 1/2 cup cheese.
Combine flour and milk in a bowl; gradually add milk, beat to make a smooth batter. Add eggs, egg whites, and hot sauce; whisk until blended. Pour over casserole. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until set, let stand 5 minutes. Garnish with onion slices and cilantro, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
Note: Two (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chiles can be substituted for whole chiles, if desired.
