Recipe for Turkey Tenderloin Casserole with Cauliflower, Broccoli & Rice

Turkey Tenderloin Casserole with Broccoli, Cauliflower and Rice

Place turkey tenderloins (2 or 3) into the crock-pot and add…

Olive oil

About ¼ cup white wine

Minced garlic

1tsp of better than bullion beef broth with ¼ cup water

½ onion

1 pckg white button mushrooms sliced

Garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Allow this to cook for several hours on low, until meat is shredding with the touch of your fork

*Note: this dish is also a great way to use leftovers. For example if you have already cooked a turkey, then just use your left over turkey, no need to prepare the tenderloin. Or if you are in a hurry purchase a rotisserie chicken from Costco and then just shred that up and use the meat. Whatever is easiest for you…the recipe is flexible! Like Me…smiles!

While Turkey is cooking prepare other items.

Cook 1 cup of Jasmine Rice, in 2 cups of chicken stock with 1 tsp of butter…when rice is complete, set aside

Next steam both cauliflower and broccoli…you can use as much or as little as you like. I would think 1 head of cauliflower and several crowns of broccoli would do the trick.

Once the cauliflower and broccoli are steamed throw them into the frying pan with olive oil and butter and then add…

Garlic salt

Pepper

A few dashes of salad supreme

Crushed red pepper flakes (just enough to add a bit of heat)

A few sprinkles of Parmesan cheese

When these items are slightly browned and sautéed, remove from heat and set aside.

For Sauce…

2 large brown organic eggs

½ tsp salt

½ cup Miracle Whip

½ cup Greek Yogurt with Honey

1 ½ cups of shredded chesse

Little squeezes of honey

This amount should cover the top of your casserole, but if you are a saucy person and you want more, feel free to double it.

Now with all of your ingredients ready let’s start layering!

Take out your Pyrex dish and begin to layer your ingredients

First the Rice goes on the bottom

Then the shredded turkey…add any sauce from when you were cooking it along with the onions and mushrooms if you like

Then the sautéed broccoli and cauliflower

Finally top it off with the sauce

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Your family will love this!!!!

PS in the picture here on my blog, you ll also see corn. I had this on hand and threw it in…feel free to do this with whatever you have in your fridge that you need to eat. Know though that it is not apart of the original recipe!

PPS The cheese sauce is so delicious! Use this in other ways as well. Like to top off vegetable dishes etc! The zing of yogurt and honey help to make this sauce unique and comforting!

Enjoy!
