Turkey Tortilla Casserole

This has been a family favorite since the 1980’s. I remember when Mom would make it and we got all excited when we found out.

One of the great features is that you can select the level of heat you want simply by the salsa you use. Personally, I like to use my Fresh Salsa recipe.

I typically prepare this recipe as presented here, but sometimes, I have leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and need to put it to good use. In that case, I’m just sautéing the onions and spices and then adding the turkey when adding the soup and other goodies.

Another idea is to buy rotisserie chicken at Costco. Did you know that Costco removes the meat from their unsold rotisserie chickens at the end of each day? And that they package it up in 2.5+ pound containers for sale the next day? It’s perfect for this recipe and one package will cover two full casseroles.
