Mexican Casserole with Leftover Turkey
I made this Mexican turkey casserole for my family the day after Thanksgiving. They gobbled it up. Lol. It's a great change of pace from reheating leftovers, for those who love Mexican food.

Loved this. I was looking for something different to use leftover turkey. I'm not a particular fan of Mexican food, but this was delicious. Not too spicy, not to gooey. Made recipe as written. My husband raved. Will definitely make again
Read MoreI really like the flavor of the recipe. I didn't have black beans available, but I like the fact that for the most part I think it works with most beans. It's a really good way to use up turkey meat after having so much turkey during the Thanksgiving holiday.

This came together pretty easy and was a good way to use leftover turkey. The one thing I didn't care for is that it was loose, There was nothing to hold it into shape once cut into squares. It doesn't dish out well but the taste was fine.
Having this tonight. I used homemade Tomatillo Salsa Verde and frozen corn instead of canned. Mine turned out a little on the dry side. I used a bit more salsa than called for as I was using leftovers. I think it needs something a little creamy. Flavours were really good. I'll tweak the leftovers.
We loved this! I added a small can of chilies as I saw that suggestion in another review and only used one can of black beans. I used Tri-Color Tortilla strips instead of tortilla chips. It looked so pretty. I served it with sour cream, avocado, and lime. The squeeze of lime really makes a difference.
Made as written minus the corn I didn't have any and I needed to prep and assemble in early afternoon for an evening supper. I used medium salsa which I highly recommend. It gives enough heat to keep the casserole from being bland. I also used more turkey to finish the leftovers and I don't think it negatively impacted the dish. I liked a glob of sour cream with my serving and I think it sliced and served neatly because I assembled it early. You could also kick in some sliced black olives! As written, with the extra cup or so of turkey, it easily served 4-6
Everyone LOVED this. We even made a vegetarian version for my daughter. YUM.YUM.YUM. We added a can of Green Chilis for some kick. This is a definite 'make again' for our family.
This casserole is very good. We did not add the corn because the kids do not like it. Decreased the black beans to 1 can and there were plenty. Reminded us a lot of Chipotle.
