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
• 0 olive oil cooking spray
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.

Step 7

Arrange the frozen cauliflower tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are crisp and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish if desired, then serve warm.
