Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey Opt for lean turkey for the best balance of flavor and health. Can substitute with ground chicken or beef.
  • 14.5 oz green beans, drained Fresh green beans add a lovely crunch, but frozen or canned can be used.
  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup Look for low sodium or make your own for a healthier choice.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Fresh garlic cloves can be used for a stronger flavor (1-2 cloves minced).
  • 7/8 cup milk Whole milk provides richness; can substitute with almond or oat milk.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder Finely diced onions can be used for a sweeter taste.
  • 2.8 oz fried onions Choose homemade or quality store-bought for the best crunch.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Pour the soup mixture into the skillet with the browned turkey. Add the drained green beans and stir well to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the turkey-bean mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly.
