I'm allergic to dairy, so I substituted vegan cheese for the regular cheese. The casserole turned out great!

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more salt and pepper.

I made this casserole exactly as the recipe said, but it turned out too dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

I'm not a big fan of wild rice, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The cheese and turkey flavors really balanced out the wild rice.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time.
