Good base! Left out the pimento, change rice to one cup of each, used peas instead of broccoli used leftover turkey gravy from Thanksgiving instead of flour, milk, and wine, and used all cheddar cheese. Way too much for a 13 x 9 pan so i used a 4 qt casserole dish. Also eliminated the salt. Yum!

This is a pretty good recipe, even though I made a few changes based on what I had in the house. It's fairly forgiving. I used chicken instead of turkey and had no pimentos. I'm not sure about the marjoram and oregano for seasonings, but I'll play around with it another time. I halved the recipe but used lots of veggies. This would be GREAT with sliced, blanched almonds!

This was very good. I used chicken instead of turkey, and I think it'd even be good with chicken sausage. I doubled the broccoli and carrots, and would even add a bit more next time. I love that this doesn't require any canned soups. The sauce is delicious!

While looking for recipes to use up Thanksgiving turkey I came across this one. Very good but next time I would change the seasonings. Try increasing to 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp rubbed sage, 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary, 1/4 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp marjoram. These are the seasonings in our family's favorite turkey noodle casserole....DELICIOUS!!!!!!

I tried this recipe for an Easter side dish because I was afraid my turkey may have been in the freezer too long and would be dry. This dish was the RAVE of Easter dinner! Very tasty and unique! I agree with the other reviewer about mixing all the ingredients in a LARGE mixing bowl instead of the skillet before placing in baking dish. There was very little room to mix in the skillet. This recipe will be a regular dish year-round!

I made this when my brother had a horde of friends up to play the new Halo, and being teenage boys, none of them cared what they ate, and it was a good time to use up our turkey. It did use up our turkey and it tasted pretty good, but the top part where the cheese was tasted the best. The rest of it needed something else to add more flavor, perhaps more cheese or spices, I'm not quite sure. But, it was a really good way to use up turkey and there was nothing left over after the boys got to it.

I'm giving this a 4 star b/c I substitued so many ingredients. The recipe turned out well, very easy to prepare. I used 1lb ground turkey, browned & drained. I didn't have pimentos or celery and I used shredded carrots instead of grated. I also used frozen broccoli florets and chopped into bite size pieces before sauteeing. I added minced garlic, salt and pepper the vegs while I sauteed. The cheese sauce was really good...I like that this recipe uses this cheese sauce as a binder/thickener rather than a canned cream soup. The swiss cheese was a little sharp, I will probably make it with only chedder from this point forward. Husband and teen-aged son loved it, both had second helpings. I also scaled it down to 6 servings and it fit just fine in a 9x13 dish. I melted 3Tbl butter and mixed w/ 1 cup crushed cornflakes for a crunchy topping. Served w/ a tossed salad and crunchy french bread. Tasted very good, easy on preparation and very easy on the budget!

I used leftover thanksgiving turkey for this recipe and I absolutely love it! I skipped the pimentos and used chicken broth instead of white wine but other than that followed the recipe. I'm sure that it could be adapted for different meats, which I intend to do so that I can have it throughout the year.

One piece of advice - I would use a large pot to mix everything in before you transfer to a 9x13 pan. The ingredients barely fit! This was good but I wasn't entirely happy with the taste of swiss cheese in the recipe. Next time I will use a different cheese.
