Ingredients
  

  • 22 oz low-sodium cream of chicken soup

  3. Gently fold the cubed turkey into the creamy soup mixture until well-coated.
  4. Spread a thin layer of stuffing over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour the creamy turkey mixture evenly over the bottom layer of stuffing.
  6. Top the casserole with the remaining stuffing to create a crispy crust.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of broth to prevent drying and warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through. This recipe is also freezer-friendly if stored properly. For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free cream soup substitute or a homemade roux with vegetable broth and almond milk.
