Chili Turkey Casserole

starrlite77's Note:

This came from the Somerfield magazine. A really nice spicy dish that I serve with rice for tea then have with jacket potato the next day for lunch. Have made with onion if I haven't got any leeks works just as well. And I don't usually add the creme fraiche because I don't tend to keep it in, but is lovely without.
