Rice Turkey Casserole image

This creamy casserole is always one of the first to go in a buffet line. When I want to indicate serving size, I use sliced cheese squares on the top rather than shredded cheese.-Ferne Carter Chapman, Tacoma, Washington

I thought this casserole was just average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this casserole was awful. It was bland and tasteless.

This recipe was a disaster! The casserole was burnt and the turkey was raw.

The casserole was good, but not great. The rice was a little mushy and the turkey was a bit dry.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I often add some chopped vegetables to the casserole for extra flavor.

This casserole was easy to make and tasted great! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the casserole turned out great! It was a little bland for my taste, so I added some extra salt and pepper.

This dish was delicious! The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
