One Pot, Stove Top Turkey Casserole

Submitted by Chef #788080

"This is a great use of leftovers, and it makes a one dish meal. I like to serve it with salad and garlic bread, though. I have also used quinoa in this recipe, but that requires putting the broccoli in as soon as the water boils, because quinoa only takes about 20 minutes to cook.
