The Best Turkey Casserole

This dish has been my favorite since I was a kid. My mom used to ask my brother and I what special food we wanted for our birthdays (1 week apart), and this family recipe passed down from our grandmother was usually our request. If you’ve got extra turkey you’d like to use up in a meaningful way- this is definitely a great choice!

My brother came out to visit recently for my birthday, and I cooked a turkey just for this dish (yes, it’s that good). We ate up the casserole too fast for me to get a picture this time.

So, let the whole turkey picture remind you that there really is a lot of meat on one of those birds. It’s wonderful to know what to do with the extras. I always know what I want to do with them. Here it is:

This dish doesn’t take much effort. Get all the ingredients, mix them up a bit, spread them out and cook. So easy. So delicious.

Some people put onions and celery in their turkey casseroles. If you like that- go for it! This recipe is easy to work with and easy to add things to. Below is the original family recipe passed down to me. It works well for my kids (who don’t like chunks of celery or onion so much).

  • 12 pieces of bread toasted, buttered, and cut up into 1 inch rectangles.
