This Turkey Tater Tot Casserole is a lightened up version of the traditional Tater Tot Hotdish. Using deliciously seasoned ground turkey and Alexia Seasoned Taters Tots you’ll have the best weeknight dish the entire family will enjoy.
Heat a large cast iron or pan over medium and warm 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Add garlic and chopped onion the oil and cook until fragrant.
Add the raw ground turkey to the dish and break with a spoon into small bite sized pieces. Cook until cooked through.
Once the turkey is cooked through add the cream of mushroom soup, salt, liquid smoke, fresh cracked pepper to taste and mix together well to combine. If using a baking dish transfer this mixture to the dish. If using a cast iron continue with the cast iron.
Top the mixture with 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Then arrange the tater tots over the top and top with the second 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
Place the pan in the oven uncovered and bake for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the tater tots are crispy. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
