Left-over turkey in the freezer and nothing to do with it. Glad I stumbled on this recipe. Nice and easy to put together. I liked the crunch from the water chestnuts and the topping was a good idea. I sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on top. Family thought it was good and were glad to have something different for dinner. Thanks, Beatrice.

This *is* a great recipe! I even substituted things according to what I had on hand. It's a keeper!

Oh, how I hate to give bad reviews! I am giving two stars because we are not big on casseroles, so that may have affected our judgement a bit. I also loved the cornflake topping, that much was fabulous! But not a single person in my family liked this, including the company that we had over! I followed the recipe to a "T" with the exception of the broccoli, I used the normandy mix wich gave it a bit more flavor. This casserole had a really odd taste to it. Then again, maybe it was just us! ;)

This was very good! I added 1/2 cup of cheese and used only 1/2 cup of mayo. I didn't have any plain white rice so I used chicken rice-a-roni. The family loved it and there's plebty leftover for tomorrow!

My whole family really liked this dish. And it was quick and easy. A good dish to make ahead of time and then toss in the oven later, which is what I did. It's also good leftover. I made some adjustments though, I only had about 1/2 cup of celery so I added enough chopped onions to make the full cup called for. I probably had a little less than 1/2 a bag of broccoli so I was a tad shy on that. I think any veggie would go nicely in this dish though, like peas and carrots or a bag of those vegetable blends. I used cream of chicken "with herbs" soup which I think gave it alot of flavor, and I halved the sliced water chestnuts just to make it easier to eat. Instead of 3/4 c of mayo, I used 1/2c mayo, 1/4 c miracle whip to give it a little zing. I didn't have any pimentos, but I don't think the dish suffered any because of it, except it would have made it more colorful. Chopped Red pepper would substitute well. Thanks for the recipe, I will make this again.
