Instructions
-
Brown the Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
-
Add Spices and Veggies: Sprinkle the garlic powder and onion powder over the browned turkey. Add the chopped carrots and broccoli. Sauté the mixture for about 5 minutes or until the carrots start to become tender.
-
Incorporate More Veggies: Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped zucchini to the skillet. Continue sautéing for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and release their flavors.
-
Combine with Soups: Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom and cream of celery soups until well combined with the turkey and vegetable mixture.
-
Prepare the Casserole: Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Top with Fries: Arrange the frozen shoestring French fries in a single layer over the top of the turkey and vegetable mixture.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on top.
-
Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
