Scale
  • 2 to 3 cups cooked turkey meat, shredded or cubed
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets, steamed
  • 1½ cups shredded cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, or mix)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup or 1½ cups homemade white sauce

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

    2. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, broccoli, and cooked rice or pasta if using.

    3. In a separate bowl, whisk together soup or white sauce, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

    4. Pour the sauce over the turkey mixture and stir to coat evenly.
