A great way to enjoy all those turkey leftovers! You can add as many veggies as you want to this dish. Take out the noodles and you have a great dip, or spread on any type of bread!

How To Make turkey and butternut squash casserole

Step 1

Cut squash in half; discard seeds. Place cut side down in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; add 1/2 in. of hot water. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes.

Step 2

Drain water from pan; turn squash cut side up. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until tender. Scoop out pulp; mash and set aside.
Step 3

While cooking the squash 10-15 minutes, cook the onions and any other veggie you added until tender. Do not include the corn. Add all the seasonings.
Step 4

Add the Turkey to this and cook the turkey until done. If the turkey is cooked already, leave to the side until squash is done.
Step 5

Add the croutons or dressing and cook a few minutes more.
Step 6

Once squash is done, add the squash, turkey (if have not already), cream cheese, noodles (if adding) and broth. Mix until all the cheese is melted and thoroughly mixed.
Step 7

Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until edges are bubbly and cheese is melted.
