Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover turkey shredded or diced
- 3 cups leftover stuffing
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 cup carrots sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced (optional)
- 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese optional
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a skillet, melt butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms (if using), and cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream soup with the broth. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir until smooth.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the turkey evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Layer the cooked vegetables over the turkey, followed by the stuffing. Pour the soup mixture evenly over everything. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, if desired.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the stuffing is golden brown.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
