  • 1(14.5 ounce) canchicken broth, or as needed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2poundsground turkey
  • 2clovesgarlic, chopped
  • 2(1.25 ounce) packagesbeefy onion soup mix
  • 2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
  • ¼cupwater, or as needed
  • 2(8 ounce) bagsfrozen corn
  • 1cupshredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
  • ¼cupfrench-fried onions, or to taste

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower and saute, stirring often to prevent it from getting too brown, until soft enough to mash with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, add Greek yogurt, and mash with a fork. Pour in chicken broth a little at a time, continuing to mash until fluffy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

    Cook ground turkey and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Stir in soup mix and flour until combined, then slowly add water and stir until creamy but not runny. Simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

    Spread turkey mixture in the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Layer with frozen corn, cauliflower mixture, and Cheddar cheese.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with french-fried onions and bake until browned, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.



    Cook's Notes:

    You can add a little bit of instant potato to the mashed potatoes if you want a thicker, fluffier texture or if you've added too much broth.

    A frozen corn and pea mix can be used instead of corn, if preferred.
