POTLUCK CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE

Potluck Cordon Bleu Casserole image

People usually ask me to bring this tempting casserole whenever I'm invited to attend a potluck. The turkey, ham and cheese are delectable combined with the crunchy topping. And when I bake a turkey, I prepare the leftovers for this dish, knowing I'll be making it again soon. -Joyce Paul, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
