Turkey Casserole

Description

This is my favorite turkey casserole. Chicken can be substituted. Great for left over Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. I found this recipe many years ago in a newspaper. My sons especially liked the cheese topping so I used to double the topping ingredients. Whether I serve it at home or bring out, I always get compliments and often asked for the recipe.
