Easy Turkey Potato Topped Casserole

---

This is a basic simple recipe that requires no baking, just simmer ingredients, mix, then put under broiler for 2 minutes, but if you just feel better about baking it...then go ahead and bake it for 8-10 minutes, but it really is not necessary to bake it. It's a great way to use up any leftover turkey (or chicken also!)! . All ingredients may be adjusted to taste, double the recipe to bake in a 13 x 9-inch pan.
