Leftover Turkey and Brown Rice Casserole image

I wanted an easy rice casserole dish that used leftover turkey from Christmas. After looking at several, I came up with this one myself. I tried it on my family and they loved it.

Ingredients

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups brown rice
1 tablespoon margarine
1 ½ teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
10 ½ fluid ounces whole milk
1 cup diced cooked turkey, or more to taste
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

Bring broth, rice, and margarine to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
When the rice has about 20 minutes left, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add soup, milk, and turkey and stir until well combined. Cook until heated through.
Mix the rice and soup mixture together. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with Cheddar cheese and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
