Leftover Turkey And Wild Rice Bake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

2. Cook the wild rice according to package instructions, then set aside.

3. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.

4. Add in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until they have softened.

5. Stir in the shredded turkey meat and cooked wild rice, mixing well to combine all ingredients.

6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

7. Pour the creamy sauce over the turkey and rice mixture in the skillet, stirring to coat everything evenly.

8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the bake, creating a delicious melty topping.

10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to crisp up slightly.

12. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
