Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen cauliflower tater tots
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground turkey. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup, Greek yogurt, and chicken broth. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, then fold in the frozen mixed vegetables.
Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.
Arrange the frozen cauliflower tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are crisp and golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish if desired, then serve warm.
