If you still have some turkey hanging out in your freezer from Thanksgiving, then I have another great way to use up you leftovers.  If you don’t have turkey, no worries because chicken works just as well. Make this Turkey (or Chicken) and Green Bean Casserole.

This dish comes together quickly and is somewhat of a main dish take off of the good old green bean casserole.  Now, this is a family favorite I have been making for years.  It came from a coupon section from a Sunday newspaper about a decade ago.  This one dish meal is a definite pleaser at my house.

If you don’t like to use the canned cream of mushroom soup, I included a recipe. It is at the bottom of the recipe. This should work as a substitute in this.

Ingredients to make Turkey (or Chicken) and Green Bean Casserole
