Des Canyons aux Etoiles is a good starting point imo, a lot of sides to him in there - dissonant piano, faux-jazzy moments, birdsong, blasts of colour, no Ondes Martenots though, but those huge brass chorales...
Trois Liturgies and Turangalila are good entry points as well - I agree that the Quartet is maybe not the best place to start unless you really want to throw yourself in at the bleak end.

very seldom spend a lot of time with his music these days but the first two there are the only compositions by him that i would certainly describe as great
i like visions de l'amen a lot but it is a bit gamelan-kitsch
