tonight's meal: wild rice turkey bake

recipe courtesy of busycooks.about.com via friend, b.

prep 20-30 min; baking time 40-50 min.

ingredients:

3 cups wild rice (i use one box of uncle ben's wild rice)

3 cups shredded cooked turkey (or chicken) (i cook then shred in food processor)

16oz. pkg frozen french cut green beans, thawed

17oz. jar alfredo sauce (i find this is the minimum amt of sauce needed to keep it moist...i usually use 1.5 jars, maybe because i never measure out the rice or turkey)

1/2 cup soft bread crumbs (3-4 slices ww bread chopped in food processor)

1. preheat oven to 350. mix turkey, rice, green beans and alfredo sauce in large bowl.

2. place in 12x8 glass dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

3. bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes until casserole bubbles at edges and bread crumbs are browned.

notes: the girl's like her mom and not a fan of her food all mixed up (however, mom likes this dish a lot). flavor of this dish is great, though. it's super easy and freezes well, too.
