Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth, or as needed
• 2 (8 ounce) bags frozen corn
• 2 heads cauliflower, stemmed and chopped
• 2 (1.25 ounce) packages beefy onion soup mix
• 1 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup water, or as needed
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup french-fried onions, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread turkey mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer with frozen corn, cauliflower mixture, and Cheddar cheese.

Step 5

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.
