  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli. You can also use frozen vegetables for convenience.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Overcooked turkey can be dry and tough. Cook the turkey until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce can help to bind the ingredients together and make the casserole more flavorful. You can use a simple white sauce, or you can add additional ingredients like cheese, herbs, or spices.
  • Top with a crispy topping: A crispy topping can add a nice contrast to the creamy sauce. Some good options include bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or shredded cheese.
