Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded turkey
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup green beans, canned or frozen
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cream of mushroom soup, green beans, thyme, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit dough package and cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Layer half of the biscuit dough pieces across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a partial base layer.
- Pour the turkey and vegetable mixture evenly over the biscuit layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the entire surface of the mixture.
- Top the cheese layer with the remaining biscuit dough pieces, distributing them evenly across the casserole.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the ingredients to set.
- Serve hot, portioning out approximately 1 cup per serving for a complete meal.
Tips
- Turkey Prep: Use freshly cooked or leftover turkey for the best flavor. Shred the meat finely to ensure even distribution throughout the casserole.
- Cheese Selection: While the recipe calls for shredded cheese, experiment with different varieties like sharp cheddar, monterey jack, or a blend for added depth of flavor.
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap green beans with other vegetables like mixed frozen vegetables or roasted seasonal veggies for a personalized touch.
- Biscuit Hack: Cut the biscuit dough into uniform quarters to ensure even cooking and a perfect golden-brown top.
- Prevent Soggy Bottom: Make sure to grease your baking dish well and avoid overcrowding the biscuit pieces to maintain a crispy texture.
- Resting Time Matters: Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to let the ingredients set and make serving easier.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prepare this casserole in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake, making it perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
