Norma's Turkey Casserole
This casserole is a great way to use leftover turkey.
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 small can condensed cream of mushroom soup (11 oz)
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 pinch salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (or 1 bullion cube and 1/2 cup water)
- 2 1/2 cups sliced, cooked turkey (or chicken)
- 1 cup crunchy Chinese chow mein noodles
- 1/2 cup salted cashews
Melt butter in a large pot. Add onions and celery, and cook until onions are clear but not browned. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, soy sauce, salt & pepper, and chicken broth.
Slice or tear cooked turkey into bite-sized pieces, and stir into mixture. Pour into a greased casserole dish and top with crunchy noodles and cashews. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed and bubbling near the edges. (If top begins to brown too quickly, cover with a sheet of foil). Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Makes lots. Enjoy!
