Notes

This recipe makes more than one rectangular pan can hold. Place the extra in a 9 in. casserole dish and bake at the same temperature for 40 minutes.
Freeze the extra to use for another meal. To cook thaw and bake as you normally would. Add some leftover turkey to the frozen casserole after it has thawed to make a great leftover turkey casserole.
