Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth.
- Add melted butter, sour cream, and milk to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled ground turkey (or other meat of choice), and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and golden.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, top with a few more crumbles of ground turkey or extra green onions.
- You can make this casserole ahead of time. Simply assemble it, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
- Add garlic powder or onion powder to the mashed potatoes for an extra burst of flavor.
