OVERNIGHT TURKEY CASSEROLE

Overnight Turkey Casserole image

Folks who love turkey will appreciate the flavor of this golden casserole. I love that I can make it day ahead and just pop it from the refrigerator to the oven. Add a baked potato and a salad and you're all set! -Monica Waletzko, Reedsburg, Wisconsin
