Ingredient List

4 cups cut-up cooked turkey
1 bag (12 oz) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
3 cups cooked wild rice
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant brown rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton), heated
3 containers (10 oz each) refrigerated reduced-fat Alfredo sauce
1/2 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3-quart casserole with cooking spray.
In large bowl, mix turkey, vegetables, cooked wild rice, uncooked brown rice, salt and thyme. Stir in heated broth and Alfredo sauce. Pour into casserole. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, walnuts and butter; sprinkle over turkey mixture.
Bake uncovered about 45 minutes or until hot.

Tips

To heat the chicken broth, measure it into a 2-cup microwavable measuring cup and microwave on High 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes or until almost boiling.
The Alfredo sauce provides a creamy, rich flavor to this casserole; the reduced-fat variety helps trim the fat. The brown rice adds extra fiber.
