12 ounces (about 3 cups) frozen or fresh green beans, chopped into 1″ pieces

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Brown ground turkey in a 10-11″ skillet over medium heat. Drain fat from the pan.
Add green beans, chopped onion, and garlic to skillet and sauté until onions turn translucent.
Stir in cream of mushroom soup and mix into the turkey and vegetable mixture. If your skillet is oven-safe, continue on to the next step. Otherwise, add the mixture to a round or oblong casserole dish.
Sprinkle half the grated cheese evenly across the top. Then top the casserole with a layer of tater tots and the rest of the cheese.
Bake at 375º uncovered for 33-35 minutes until the cheese and tater tot topping is golden brown and the edges of the casserole are bubbly.
Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream, sliced green onion, or parsley.

Notes

For soup variations, consider using cream of chicken or a homemade version.
