Turkey Casserole

---

This is my favorite turkey casserole. Chicken can be substituted. great for left over thanksgiving or christmas turkey. i found this recipe many years ago in a newspaper. my sons especially liked the cheese topping so i used to double the topping ingredients. whether i serve it at home or bring out, i always get compliments and often asked for the recipe.
