Description

A straightforward recipe to turn leftover turkey and side dishes into a satisfying casserole for a weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, diced
  • 1 cup cooked stuffing or dressing
  • 1 cup cooked vegetables (carrots, peas, green beans)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crushed crackers or breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced turkey, stuffing, and cooked vegetables.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Mix the crushed crackers or breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this topping over the cheese layer.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup if you prefer.
  • If you do not have leftover stuffing, use 1 cup of cooked rice or pasta instead.
