My Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole with Ground Turkey and potatoes is a great way to get your family to eat more vegetables. A complete meal in a single casserole dish.

My Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole with Ground Turkey is a great way to get your family to eat more vegetables in a single dish.

I’m always interested in creating new recipes using ground turkey, especially casseroles, that are easy to make and incorporate vegetables. This recipe is simple, easy to put together and taste great. Your kids will not even notice the cauliflower and a its great way to incorporate vegetables into their diet.

To simplify the Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole with Ground Turkey recipe I used Simply Potatoes brand Diced Potatoes with Onions.  For the ground turkey I usually buy the 4 pack of ground turkey, by Butterball, from Costco. Packs average around a 1.5 pounds each.

Stir and cook until turkey is browned and onions are softened. Drain off excess grease.

Remove turkey and onions from pan and drain on paper towels. As turkey browns bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower head to boiling water and boil for 5-7 minutes. Remove to colander and allow to cool before separating into bite size florets. In microwave safe bowl cook potatoes on high for 3 minutes. Heat medium sauce pan on medium heat. Use the same pan turkey was browned in. Add milk, soup and garlic seasoning and stir to combine. Heat until soup and milk thicken. Spray a 11 x 15 baking dish with cooking spray. Add potatoes to dish.

Cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking for 10 minutes until top is brwned and bubbling. Salt and pepper to taste.

Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole with Ground Turkey can be made ahead by browning the ground turkey, boil the cauliflower and assemble the rest of the ingredients. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to cook. As you preheat the oven, remove the casserole from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Cook until top is slightly brown and edges are bubbling.
