45 minGot leftover turkey sitting in the fridge? This casserole is exactly where it belongs.
Cubed cooked turkey gets tossed with pasta, canned tomatoes, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, and green onions, all seasoned with dried marjoram and black pepper.
Pour it into a baking dish, scatter bread crumbs on top, dot with butter, and bake until the whole thing is bubbly and golden brown.
It’s the kind of recipe that makes Thanksgiving leftovers feel like a brand new meal.
Kitchen Tips
- Any pasta shape works here. Rotini and penne hold the sauce and cheese especially well
- Cottage cheese adds creaminess and protein without the heaviness of a roux-based sauce
- This is a brilliant way to use leftover roast chicken too, not just turkey
- Assemble it the night before and refrigerate. Just add the bread crumbs and butter before baking
