Mushroom and Turkey Casserole (From Cooking Light) image

A lighter way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers without the addition of any cream soups. A simple meal we enjoy with a green salad. There is a similar recipe posted, however, this is the Cooking Light Quick and Easy version that I use, and since I just spent 30 minutes going through my cookbooks trying to find it, thought I'd post it here for future reference.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the creamy sauce and the tender turkey.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The flavors were well-balanced and the casserole was very moist.

Overall, I thought the casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The casserole took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I would recommend increasing the cooking time.

The casserole was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more liquid to the recipe.

The casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

I used a blend of different mushrooms, such as shiitake and cremini. It gave the casserole a really rich flavor.

I've tried many turkey casseroles, but this one is by far the best. It's incredibly flavorful and moist, and the mushrooms add a delightful earthy flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
