Turkey Delight Casserole

We always have the question of left overs after a feast with family and friends.  Through the years I developed several dishes that we just love, that really have become a part of our tradition.  This Turkey Delight Casserole is one of those dishes.  This is a great casserole anytime of the year and a favorite of our families.

It is always great to be able to spend time with family and friends and having a plan for the left overs will give more  time to spend with them.  Your visits are always very special to me and hope you will come back to see us really soon!

  11. I think I like the turkey leftovers every bit as much as I do the turkey itself:) I made turkey tetrazini the other night. Yum! I am giving away two great prizes on my blog: a $50 gift certificate to my favorite jeweler robinsonlane.com and a copy of a new book published by fellow blogger, Kat Robinson. It is called Arkansas Pie: A Slice of the Natural State. I just know you will love either one. http://diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-merry-merry-munchies-3-baked.html Come link up to enter.

    1. Hi Mkkiki,
      The baking dish that I used for the photo is 8X8, however I have used a 9X13 as well. If you use the 8X8 the casserole is thicker with the same great flavor either way. Hope you enjoy the casserole and have a great weekend!
