This classic casserole is so easy to make and works well with either leftover turkey or fresh turkey cutlets. You can also substitute flavored bread crumbs for the plain ones and jarred, roasted red pepper for the fresh variety. —Shannon Weddle, Berryville, Virginia

I love this recipe. It is a little time consuming but well worth it. I substitute chicken for the turkey every now and then.

Easy recipe-and it tastes fantastic! Because I was cooking for just two people, I adjusted the recipe by half and it was perfect. Can't wait to use my Thanksgiving leftovers to make this again.
