I used chicken instead of turkey (two 12.5 oz cans of chunk chicken breast) and doubled the Ritz Cracker topping. I thought it was a little too salty, so next time I'll see if I can find reduced sodium cream of chicken soup. I still thought it was really good, and a nice addition to the recipe box for switching things up now and then!

This is an excellent recipe. Great use of leftover Turkey from Thanksgiving. The only change I made, simple because I did not have ham was using sliced kielbasa sausage.

found the mixture too dry so I added more milk.

I made this for my dad and sister. They both loved it! I accidentally forgot the sage and garlic, so next time I make this I'll make sure I don't miss anything. I'm also going to try using chicken instead of turkey.

Absolutely delicious! I made 1 addition- I added 2 shakes of Old Bay (personal preference). This casserole was so good that my very picky husband had 3 helpings. I will be adding this to my recipe box.

Great! I upped the garlic powder to 1/2 tsp. Even better warmed up next day.
