  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the tastier your casserole will be. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your casserole generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential spices that will help bring out the flavor of the other ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Turkey: Overcooked turkey is dry and tough. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Casserole Rest: After you take the casserole out of the oven, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and will make the casserole easier to serve.
