Gluten Free Turkey Tater Tot Casserole
This Gluten Free Turkey Tater Tot Casserole is a favorite of my family! Easy and delicious; this casserole makes for a yummy dinner for the entire family!
Sometimes I’m in the mood for “comfort food” that isn’t too terribly unhealthy! I know that sounds like an impossible feat; however, if you change up some of the ingredients you can make just about anything healthier!
With this casserole dish; I use ground turkey (or ground chicken), baked tater tots or crispy crowns to reduce the fat and carbohydrates and use low fat cheese when possible. These couple items help; but portion control is the key!
When I make this casserole for my family they are always in a hurry to get to the table. Not to mention helping themselves to seconds! Who doesn’t love tater tots, cheese and ground meat?
Even Ayden; my picky eater, has seconds of this dish!
I used to make this casserole with hamburger rather than ground turkey. I received a similar recipe from a co-worker over twenty years ago and was so happy to find all the ingredients needed to make it gluten free and healthier. I’ve modified it many times and found this combination to be one of my family’s favorite.
I hope you enjoy this as much as my family; here is the recipe for you:
