Turkey Pancetta Casserole Recipe


Turkey Pancetta Casserole Recipe
This is a rich and savory meal that has plenty of veggies. Sort of like a deconstructed lasagna without the noodles. It is a good one-dish meal, but you could pair it with a salad too.

Sounds like a winner but I will adda little more garlic. Nice post TY


I agree more garlic is better, but I though it might scare people off. And I probably should have used "cloves" of garlic instead of "clives". =)
EDIT: Fixed spelling and doubled garlic!


Could you use a baked turkey? this sounds great! I never know what to do with my left-over turkey from thanksgiving!


I think this would be fine with baked turkey. It might even be better because it could be more flavorful. I suggest that you shred the leftovers and don't bother waiting 5 minutes like in step 4. Give it more like 1 minute to warm it up (but you should increas the cooking in step 3 to 10 minutes otherwise the Cauliflower will be too tough!)


Mmmmmmm... looks good to me. I agree, MORE GARLIC! I love the way you have described the method of preparation! It was the "shoveling" that put a smile on my face ;-)


This sounds really exceptional , yes more garlic, garlic is goooood. All the ingredients are fantastic. Provolone is one of my favorite cheeses, besides feta and this crumbly Mexican cheese I can never remember the name of but it's so good, I can remember the salty taste of course. Another great recipe to save/print for future use. ( near future)
