Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked turkey chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cooked white rice

Sauce and Topping

  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook the rice according to package instructions and steam the broccoli until tender-crisp. Chop the turkey into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the turkey, broccoli, and rice. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir until well combined. Transfer to a greased baking dish and top with shredded cheese.

Serving

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the bake warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Pair with a side salad or bread for a complete meal.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • To freeze, place the cooled bake in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
