Ingredients
Scale
3 cups leftover turkey, shredded
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cooked rice, frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the turkey mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil until they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the turkey casserole.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring an even layer across the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
