Ingredients

• 1 lb Lean ground turkey
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Fresh mushrooms, diced
• 2 cups Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, and corn)
• 1 can Low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 20 oz Frozen tater tots
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in the diced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the frozen mixed vegetables. Mix well, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup and almond milk. Cook for 2-3 minutes until combined and heated through.

Step 5

Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 6

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the casserole, covering the surface completely.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
