Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 medium, chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 can (10.5 oz) Reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package (32 oz) Low-fat tater tots

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the lean ground turkey over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns. Cook until it's fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, and cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are just starting to thaw.

Step 6

Add the can of reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup and the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture in the baking dish.

Step 9

Arrange the low-fat tater tots in a single layer on top of the cheese.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
