Healthier Hotdish

Serves: 4-6

Prep Time: 1 hour

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 pound lean ground turkey

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

½ cup low-fat milk

1 (10.5-ounce) can reduced-fat Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 pound frozen mixed vegetables, steamed to package directions

About 1 pound frozen Tater Tots

Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large cast-iron skillet or ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes or until softened. Add turkey; stir to break up meat, cooking until liquid evaporates (about 10 minutes).

2. Turn heat to low. Sprinkle turkey with salt, garlic powder, dried thyme and flour. Add milk; stir to combine until thickened.

3. Add soup and vegetables; stir to combine. Top with Tater Tots in an even layer; coat with cooking spray. Bake 40 minutes or until bubbling and tots are browned.

4. Let cool 10 minutes; serve immediately.
