Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey strips and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are browned. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add diced onion to the same skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground beef to skillet, breaking into small crumbles. Cook for 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef reaches 160°F and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
Stir cooked turkey strips into beef mixture and remove from heat. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
Spread beef and turkey mixture evenly in prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese over meat layer.
Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole, tilting dish gently to distribute. Top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes until center is set and cheese is golden and bubbling. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with green onions and diced tomatoes before serving.

Notes

Ground beef must reach safe internal temperature (160°F) to prevent foodborne illness.
