Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ teaspoon chili powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
½ large white or yellow onion, diced
1 large sweet pepper (red, orange, or yellow), seeded and diced
1 pound ground turkey, preferably 90-93% lean
1 cup salsa
1, 15 oz. can of black beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 ½ cups frozen tater tots
Toppings: sour cream, extra cheese, cilantro, black olives, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, etc.

Steps:

  • Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine chili powder, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  • Use a 12" cast iron or other non-stick skillets to heat the olive oil over medium or medium-high heat, or until the oil sputters when flicked with water.
  • Saute the onion and sweet pepper in the skillet for 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so, or until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softening.
  • Add the ground turkey and seasonings to the onions and peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring and breaking up the turkey as it cooks, until it is crisp and cooked through, and the mixture is fragrant.
  • Stir in the salsa and drained beans to the turkey mixture. Bring the ingredients to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.
  • Then, remove the pan from heat. If you're using a cast-iron skillet, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the turkey, followed by the tater tots evenly spaced (about 1" between each). If using a non-stick or non-oven safe skillet, pour the turkey into a greased 8 x 13" baking dish and top with cheese. Pipe the tater tots on top and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake the Pioneer Woman Tater Tot Casserole for 22-25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the tater tots are crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and serve hot with taco toppings of your choice!
