Ingredients
Scale
Stuffing Mix
- 6 Tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 box stove top stuffing mix
Casserole Filling
- 3 cups cubed leftover turkey
- 1 10-ounce package frozen vegetables
- 2 celery stalks (sliced thinly)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 10-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
For Serving
- 2 cups gravy
- 1 Tablespoon parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Heat broth and butter: In a pot, heat the chicken broth and melted butter until it comes to a boil, ensuring the flavors meld and the stuffing will absorb the liquid properly.
- Prepare the stuffing: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the dry stuffing mix. Cover the pot with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the stuffing to absorb the liquid. Afterward, fluff the stuffing gently with a fork to separate the grains.
- Combine casserole filling: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cubed leftover turkey, frozen vegetables, thinly sliced celery, minced garlic, and condensed cream of chicken soup. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble the casserole: Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top. Then, layer the prepared stuffing evenly over the filling, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the dish is bubbly and heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle the top with chopped parsley for a fresh herbaceous finish, cut into portions, and serve warm with gravy on the side.
Notes
- Use fresh or leftover turkey; white or dark meat both work well.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables—just sauté lightly before mixing.
- For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Adjust the amount of gravy served on the side to personal preference.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
