Turkey Tater Tot Casserole Recipe Ingredients: 

• Ground Turkey
• Cream of Chicken Soup-Any cream of soup can be used in this recipe. My kids prefer cream of chicken over cream of mushroom, but either version work in this recipe. 
• Milk 
• Cheese– Any shredded cheese works, I like to use cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese on my tater tot casseroles
• Tator Tots

How To Make Tater Tot Casserole With Ground Turkey

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9X13 dish with nonstick spray. I prefer to use a pyrex 9X13 to make my casseroles.

Brown your ground turkey in a large skillet and strain the grease.  

Place browned turkey in the bottom of the casserole pan.

In a bowl, mix together your cream soup and your milk.

Cover the ground turkey with the cream soup mixture.

Top the meat mixture with tater tots so everything is covered.

Cover with cheese to your desired cheesiness.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or till your tater tots are fully cooked and serve!! 

You can mix the cheese up in the soup mixture but we love it this way!!! The cheese on the top just makes it unique and you can pluck off tater tots to eat covered in cheese.  (Total win, right?)
