Wow! This was soooo delicious and easy to make! Thank you for posting : ) -
This was quite good, although we found it a little bland. Next time I would add a little more seasoning, maybe a few red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.Just made half a recipe and I used 2% milk with the non fat powdered milk and I used homemade turkey stock. It wasn't as creamy as I had hoped but wasn't dry either. thanks for posting a pleasant low fat casserole.
