Description

A simple recipe for a baked casserole using cooked turkey legs and rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded turkey meat
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, frozen peas, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  6. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any cooked rice you have on hand, such as leftover rice.
  • If you do not have cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup works as a substitute.
  • For a richer flavor, use leftover turkey meat from a roasted turkey.
