How to Make Cornbread Turkey Casserole

  2. Prepare cornbread stuffing mix according to package directions. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked turkey and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth.
  5. Divide the soup mixture evenly among the prepared baking dishes (about 1 1/3 cups per dish).
  6. Top each casserole with half of the turkey mixture, then spread the remaining soup mixture evenly over the turkey.
  7. Sprinkle each casserole generously with shredded Swiss cheese.
  8. **For immediate baking:** Cover one casserole with foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  9. **For freezing:** Cover the remaining two casseroles tightly with foil and then plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  10. **To bake from frozen:** Thaw casseroles in the refrigerator overnight. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
