This recipe is great any time of the year--especially when you are craving Thanksgiving dinner without all the work and the dishes! Use either chicken or turkey to make a great meal by combining all of the holiday's favorites into one casserole. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups hot water |
1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces |
1 (6 ounce) package chicken flavored dry stuffing mix |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
3 cups diced, cooked turkey |
1/2 teaspoon celery seed |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
salt and pepper to taste |
3 cups prepared mashed potatoes |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the seasoning packet from the stuffing, hot water, and 1/4 cup butter until butter is melted. Stir in stuffing just until moistened. Let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion; cook and stir until tender. Mix in the cooked turkey, and season with celery seed, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread a layer of stuffing over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the turkey mixture, then spread a layer of mashed potatoes over everything. Cover with aluminum foil.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until heated through.
