Leftovers!

I have a lot of leftover turkey from Christmas dinner. Let's just say that the turkey wasn't ready for dinner so there was an entire turkey that needed to be divied out to various households. I was trying to come up with a recipe to use up some of that turkey. I combined a few recipes and came up with a decent casserole recipe. This isn't the most amazing recipe I have ever made but it serves it's purpose and I thought it was pretty darn tasty. Hubby and baby enjoyed it too!

Leftover Turkey Casserole

1 cup skim milk
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
2 cups part skim cheese
1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup peas
2 cups diced turkey breast
1/2 onion (optional...I didn't use any onion because we didn't have any but it would be a good addition).
4 cups brown rice (cooked)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Combine 1 cup skim milk with cornstarch in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of cheese and 1/2 cup of yogurt. Salt and pepper to taste. In the microwave, team the carrots and peas until tender. Combine the veggies, rice, and sauce in a 9x13 casserole dish. Cover with remaining cheese and bake on 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
