Turkey and Wild Rice Casserole

310 Calories per Serving

First off, I used chicken instead of turkey because I couldn't find any turkey "chunks" at Kroger. Secondly, (as also mentioned in the Shrimp Alfredo recipe) I used Ragu reduced fat Alfredo sauce- and I'm not a fan. It's too bland. I think I would have liked this recipe alot better if I used a different Alfredo sauce. I think I might make it again a little later and try a different brand sauce, which is what I'd recommend yall do if you want to try this recipe. And if you DO use a different sauce and like it, let me know what you used! haha

Though it was a little bland, it was really easy to make. The actual prep time was super fast- what takes a little bit of time is cooking the rice and then cooking the casserole in the oven. 

I'd make this one again (with some adjustments) because it wasn't bad.
