Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup frozen green beans, thawed
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns (no added butter/oil)
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, diced celery, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the thawed frozen green beans, low-sodium cream of mushroom soup, unsweetened almond milk, and low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet. Mix well to combine.
Season the mixture with worcestershire sauce, paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the mixture with an even layer of the frozen shredded hash browns. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy on top.
Remove the hot dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this healthier take on the classic hot dish!
