Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be sure to brown the turkey thoroughly before adding the vegetables. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.
• If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can substitute water. However, chicken broth will add more flavor to the casserole.
• You can add other vegetables to the casserole, such as corn, peas, or carrots.
• If you want a crispier casserole, you can sprinkle some bread crumbs or grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
