Tips for leftover turkey casseroles
- Check your leftovers first. Cooked turkey keeps only a few days in the fridge. Our guide on how long leftover turkey lasts has the fridge and freezer times.
- Mix dark and white meat. Dark meat stays moister in a bake; a mix of both gives the best texture.
- Don’t overcook the noodles. They soften again in the oven, so slightly firm noodles hold up better.
- No leftover carrots? Peas, green beans or corn from the holiday table work just as well.
- Short on gravy? A little broth loosens what you have, so the casserole doesn’t dry out.
