An after Thanksgiving favorite! I received this recipe from my Mother in Law soon after my husband and I were married. It is a simple recipe, easy to whip up in a hurry. This recipe fills a 9"x13" pan so I generally take half of it and freeze it in a large ziplock.
Crunchy Turkey Casserole
1 box of Uncle Bens long grain wild rice
4 c. turkey (or chicken)
8 oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 sm or med onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 c. milk
3/4 C. Helmans mayonaise
1 c. French's french fried onions
1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl except fried onions. Scoop into baking dish, covered.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 - 1 1/2 hours depending on size of baking dish. Sprinkle fried onions over the top and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes at the end.
I'll usually serve this with homemade cornbread and an additional vegetable side dish. Some people like to eat this with plain potato chips.
