Is it really necessary to preheat the oven? I always skip that step.
Tasted alright but I prefer my turkey in a sandwich. Just my opinion.
CHEESE!!! 😍 Love it, love it, love it! Best comfort food ever!
What do you mean cream of mushroom? Can I use spaghetti sauce instead???
Spaghetti sauce ain’t the same as cream of mushroom! It won’t taste right. I’d stick with the recipe if I were you.
Super easy recipe. My kids ate all of it, guess it was a hit!
So good! I added some spicy sausage and it really kicked it up a notch. Yum!
Spicy sausage? Now that’s a creative twist! I might try that next time. Thanks for the tip! 😊
Not sure about adding sausage. Isn’t turkey enough? 🤔
I substituted brown rice for white rice, and it turned out great! Healthy option.
This casserole is a lifesaver! My family loved it and it was so easy to make. I’ll definitely be making it again!
I’m so glad your family enjoyed it! This recipe really does save time, doesn’t it? What modifications did you make?
Easy? I don’t know… I struggle with stuff like peeling onions. Is there a simpler version?
This turned out great! My whole family loved it! Will make again.
Delicious! Cheese just makes everything better! 😋
My kids ate it all! Finally something they like. Thank you!
That’s awesome! Kids can be picky eaters. Glad they enjoyed it!
Can u make this with other meats?? Like beef or chicken? Asking for a friend.
This is so good! I added some hot sauce for a kick. Yum!
Not sure if hot sauce goes with turkey and rice. I like it plain, but to each their own.
Hot sauce sounds like a great idea! I bet it adds an awesome flavor. Can’t wait to try it! 😊
Casserole? Is that even a real food? LOL. No thanks.
Casserole is totally a food! It’s just a mix of things baked together. This recipe sounds delicious to me! Yum!
Too many ingredients for a simple dinner. Ever heard of just turkey and rice?
I made this for dinner. It was ok, but I’d rather just have plain rice 🤷♂️.
I get it, not everyone loves casseroles. But plain rice with this could be a little boring, don’t you think? It has some good flavors!
I don’t know about this recipe. Seemed kinda bland to me. Maybe I did something wrong?
I think the recipe could use more spices or maybe some herbs. It doesn’t sound very flavorful as is.
Best casserole I’ve ever made!! 👏👏 Will definitely make again!!
It was ok, but a bit too dry for my taste. Maybe add more broth next time?
Great flavor. Just adjusted it a little bit. Used more turkey and veggies than it called for and less rice. A whole bag of sharp cheddar cheese. Would make again. I also make another version of this to cook in crock pot.
Could you use chicken instead of turkey? I have some leftover chicken.
Where’s the seasoning? I added some cayenne pepper and it was much better.
Not for me. The cheese was way too much I think. I’m more of a salad person.
Not sure if this is worth the effort. My family didn’t like it much. Too bland. 😕
Super easy recipe! I threw in some leftover veggies too. Yum!
Looks good but I ain’t sure about the cream of mushroom soup. Can’t beat homemade broths!
I can’t believe how easy this was! Perfect for a busy weeknight. Thanks for sharing!
