100% would make again

Whenever I'm invited to attend a potluck, people usually ask me to bring this tempting casserole. The turkey, ham and cheese are delectable combined with the crunchy topping. When I bake a turkey, I prepare the leftovers for this dish, knowing I'll be making it again soon. -Joyce Paul, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

I forgot to add that I used the 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 1/2 can of skim milk instead of the butter, flour and half and half to lighten it up and it worked fabulously well!

I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a 1/2 can of skim milk and kept the rest of the recipe the same and it turned out amazing! The spice combo is just perfect :)

This is the best dish. I've been making it every year, shortly after Thanksgiving, for at least 10 years. My Aunt Janet always bakes a ham AND cooks a turkey for Thanksgiving, and she always insists that I bring home leftovers of both. I use them to make this casserole every single time (although I've also roasted turkeys and baked hams just so I would have leftovers for this dish, lol!) I rarely made the same dish twice, but I just keep going back to this one. The walnuts on top, and the dill make it so good.
