Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large pan over medium heat, combine the chopped turkey, softened cream cheese, sour cream, squeezed-dry spinach, and condensed cream of celery soup. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it is heated through and the cream cheese has fully melted into a smooth, cohesive sauce. This should take approximately 7-8 minutes.

04

Step

Transfer the creamy turkey and spinach mixture to a 3 1/2-quart baking dish. Spread evenly.

05

Step

Top the mixture with the leftover prepared stuffing, crumbling it lightly to ensure even coverage. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the stuffing is lightly golden.

07

Step

Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the stuffing to brown to perfection. (40 minutes)

08

Step

Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the stuffing topping before baking.
If you don't have cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup work wonderfully as substitutes.
Ensure the spinach is thoroughly squeezed dry to prevent a watery casserole.
Feel free to adjust the amount of stuffing to your preference. A thicker layer will create a more substantial crust.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
