Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until smooth.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, cooked turkey mixture, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated in the soup mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared crock pot and spread it out into an even layer.
Top the mixture with the frozen tater tots, arranging them evenly across the surface.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the tater tots are cooked through and golden brown on top.
During the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tater tots. Re-cover and let the cheese melt.
Once cooked, serve the casserole hot with your favorite side dishes or a simple green salad.
