Easy, cheesy, meaty and good! Nothing says comfort food like a hot bubbling casserole that takes on the quintessential flavors of a cheeseburger and French fry combo. It’s packed with savory veggies and topped with crunchy tortilla chips to make it even more delicious. If you want to get a jump-start on preparing it, boil the potatoes and brown the turkey mixture up to 2 days in advance. One the day you plan to serve it, make the cheese sauce, assemble the casserole and bake as directed. Add a colorful garden salad to sneak more vegetables on to your plate.
