Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds turkey (boneless, skinless, diced)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk

Stuffing Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup hot water (or chicken broth)
  • 1 box (8 oz) stuffing mix (or leftover stuffing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Turkey and Vegetables: Spread the diced turkey and mixed vegetables evenly in the prepared pan, creating the casserole base.
  3. Mix Creamy Soup Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, and milk. Whisk until smooth and pour over the turkey and vegetables in the pan.
  4. Prepare Stuffing Topping: In a separate bowl, stir the melted butter and hot water (or chicken broth) into the stuffing mix until evenly moistened. Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the soup layer in the casserole.
  5. Initial Bake: Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to cook through.
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes to crisp and brown the stuffing topping.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hearty chicken and stuffing casserole!

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey with diced chicken if preferred.
  • Using chicken broth instead of hot water for the stuffing topping adds extra flavor.
  • Leftover stuffing works well as a topping if you have some on hand.
  • For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat soup and milk alternatives.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily into the soup mixture.
