A delightful twist on the classic tater tot casserole, featuring a creamy and cheesy base with a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy topping.
Cook the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
Use a non-stick skillet to make cleanup easier.
Spread the cooked turkey evenly in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.
Press the turkey down gently to create an even layer.
Layer the mixed vegetables over the turkey.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Spread the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the vegetables.
Use a spatula to smooth the soup for an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the soup layer.
For extra cheesiness, add a bit more cheese.
Arrange the tater tots on top to cover the entire casserole.
Place the tater tots in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the layers to set for easier serving.
