For the Casserole
  • 1 cup Chopped Mushrooms Adds earthy flavor and texture; substitute with bell peppers for a twist.
  • 2 cups Frozen Broccoli Florets Brings color and nutrients; fresh broccoli can add sweetness and crunch.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Used for sautéing vegetables; can be replaced by butter for a richer taste.

  • 2 cups Shredded Cooked Turkey The main protein; chicken works perfectly well as a substitute.
