This is a great base recipe to change-up to your family's tastes / preferences. I cooked my rice with the onion before mixing with the chopped turkey (and I mixed in some thawed frozen veggies) and added a sprinkling of cheesy crackers over the top then baked 20 minutes and it was really good! My family ate it all up for a tasty weekend lunch.
Read MoreThis was a good start, but too basic for me. I wanted more than meat and rice, so I added about 4 diced carrots, a cup of diced celery, and doubled the onion. I also subbed thickened milk for the cream soup, and it worked just fine. My turkey had been seasoned with oregano and basil, so after it was baked, I sprinkled some parmesan. altogether, a really great winter casserole. Based on another review, I raised the temperature to 400 and it baked in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

I made this using cream of chicken soup because it's what I had on hand at the time and I used Uncle Bens original recipe wild rice. When it was time to take the lid/foil off, I stirred the casserole then put it back in the oven for 15 minutes. At then end of the 15 minutes I topped it with crushed white cheddar crackers and put it back in for 5 more minutes. It turned out very good and reheats well when taking it for lunch the next day.
This has become a family favorite. Substitute chicken breasts if turkey left overs aren’t an option. I also added carrots, celery and onions to add a little umph. Most requested meal in our house!
required a bit more time in the oven with out the foil double the time it was great otherwise
Very bland should of read reviews before i made it and added something to spice it up.
It was good, but you need to cook the rice b/4 or use leftover cooked wild rice. I did that because of the reviews. I added some carrots to the rice while it was cooking to give some color. It goes in the file to make again according to my husband.
My husband and I love it! It's such a welcome change from the everyday casseroles we are use to making!
This was delicious. My sister really resisted making anything with left over turkey, but boy did she change her mind! We used wild rice from Minnesota and it did take longer to cook, but it was so worth it. Just delicious! Froze well, too!
