Leftover turkey is great for sandwiches, but we can only have it for so many meals before we are tired of it! This delicious, comforting turkey broccoli rice casserole will break up the monotony of turkey leftovers.

Leftover rice or broccoli can be used in this recipe too. Or you can steam the broccoli and cook the rice in advance! Then all you have to do is basically stir everything together and heat it up when it is time for dinner.

Even if you don’t like turkey, chicken broccoli rice casserole is still a great meal option. Thaw some chicken from the freezer, chop it up, season with salt and pepper, and add it to the skillet in the beginning with the onion.

How to Make a Better Version of Turkey Broccoli Rice Casserole

Want to take it up a notch?! It will taste and feel more fresh and healthy if you use this easy homemade cream of chicken soup instead of the canned stuff. I already have the mix in my pantry, so making the soup is super easy and fast. Bonus, you can make this meal gluten-free with the cream of chicken soup recipe.

What type of rice to use:

I use long grain Basmati rice, but feel free to use any kind of rice! Note that different kinds of rice may take different amounts of cooking time and more or less chicken broth though.

Brown rice will take longer to cook and may require more liquid. Short grain yields a creamier rice, so long grain is recommended. Give quick-cooking rice a try if you want to speed it up even more!
