Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, reduced sodium (or coconut aminos)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables
  • 1 pound tater tots or enough to cover the top of the hotdish
  • shredded cheese for garnish, optional
  • pickled jalepenos for garnish, optional
  • CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP:
  • 5-8 ounces mixed mushrooms (cremini, shitake, oyster), roughly chopped
  • ½-1 head garlic, roasted (or use 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1 cups low sodium broth of any kind
  • ¼ cup dairy cream (or almond milk or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 2-3 tablespoons tapioca starch or gluten free flour blend, mixed with water to form a slurry
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a saucepan, saute the mushrooms, shallot and garlic in a small amount of butter or olive oil until mushrooms have given up their moisture and the shallots are softened.
  3. Add the broth and cream.
  4. Puree about ¾ of this soup base in a blender or with an immersion (stick) blender and return to the pot to cook.
  5. In a small dish, mix the starch or flour with a small amount of water to form a slurry slightly thinner than a paste.
  6. Gradually stir this into the mushroom soup and heat until it becomes a gravy consistency. Turn off heat and let sit until ready to use.
  7. Meanwhile, in a saute pan, cook the turkey with the onion, worcestershire and pepper until the turkey is fully cooked.
  8. Stir in frozen veggies and then add the mushroom soup. Stir to combine.
  9. If your saute pan isn't oven friendly, transfer this to a casserole baking dish.
  10. Top with a layer of shredded cheese (optional), then a layer of tater tots, and then another layer of shredded cheese (optional).
  11. Cover baking pan with foil and bake about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5-10 minutes to toast the tops of the tater tots.
  12. Serve hot topped with pickled jalepenos!
Notes
You can also freeze this hotdish either before or after baking. Let thaw completely in fridge before reheating. Bake as directed if it wasn't previously baked or heat until warmed through.
