Cowboy Ground Turkey Tater Tot Casserole Recipe by Elyse Rose
Cooking Instructions 1 Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Remove the tater tots from the freezer to let them thaw slightly while you prepare the filling. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet. Add the onion to the skillet with the grease and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add seasonings if you would like. 2 Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no pink pieces remain, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain off the excess fat, if you like. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the soup, milk, salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper; mix until smooth. 3 Fold in the spinach to wilt slightly. Stir in the corn. 4 Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Place the tater tots on top in a single layer, arranging them in concentric circles (or just toss them on and push them very close together). Sprinkle the top with black pepper. 5 Bake until the tater tots are golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and crumble the cooked bacon over top. Let rest 5 minutes. 1 Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Remove the tater tots from the freezer to let them thaw slightly while you prepare the filling.
