I've been making this casserole for at least 15 years and I think it originated from Kraft, based on the magazine cut-out I have taped in the front of my Joy of Cooking. It's comfort food at its warm, hearty and delicious best. I take any trimmed-l... More

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 cups chopped cooked turkey or chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced celery
  • 2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted, divided
  • 1 cup premium mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
  • Pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie (To save time, Pillsbury or storebrand refrigerated pie crusts work great)

Directions
  1. Heat oven to 400 F.
  2. Toss 1 cup cheese with flour. Mix cheese/flour mixture, turkey, celery, 1/3 cup almonds, mayonnaise, lemon juice and seasonings.
  3. Roll pastry to 15-inch square on lightly-floured surface. Place in 13 x 9-inch baking dish; trim beyond edge. Turn under edge; flute.
  4. Fill with turkey mixture. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and 1/3 cup of almonds.
  5. NOTE: If you choose, you can take the trimmed, leftover pie crust and cut out whimsical shapes and place on top of casserole before baking. Sometimes, I even buy an extra crust to make sure I can decorate the top with fun shapes.
  6. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Makes 6-8 servings.

I love these types of "pie casseroles"...the creamy, cheesey filling and the nice crust. This one sounds excellent and is going in my Must Try file!


I'll be trying this one this weekend for the family. Thanks!


Love everything about this. Mayonnaise is a wonderful ingredient, and just compliments all the flavors in this recipe! I will make this for the weekend. And I will call it "supper". :)


I finally added a picture of the dish... =)
