Everyone in my family loves this casserole, even my 80-year-old grandparents who aren't big fans of Mexican food. Mild green chiles, tender cubes of turkey, tomatoes and lots of cheese make a mouthwatering filling. —Ann Herren, Pulaski, Tennessee

In a large skillet, saute rice and vermicelli in butter until golden brown. Gradually stir in the water, tomatoes and contents of rice seasoning packets. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.
