Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrots, diced celery, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Season the mixture with worcestershire sauce, paprika, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Top the mixture with an even layer of the frozen shredded hash browns. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy on top.

Step 10

Remove the hot dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
