Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground turkey
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Fresh mushrooms, diced
- 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn)
- 1 can Low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 20 oz Frozen tater tots
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in the diced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the frozen mixed vegetables. Mix well, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup and almond milk. Cook for 2-3 minutes until combined and heated through.
Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the casserole, covering the surface completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
