If you've ever tried the Hot Brown Sandwich at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, you'll love this version. It can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; just adjust baking time accordingly if cold. -Diane Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I loved this casserole! The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the Ritz cracker topping adds a nice crunch.

This is the best hot brown turkey casserole I've ever had! The turkey is moist and tender, the sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the Ritz cracker topping is the perfect finishing touch.

This was a total fail. The turkey was dry and tough, and the sauce was watery and flavorless. I won't be making this again.

Meh, it was okay. Not bad, but not great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit of a disappointment. The turkey was dry and the sauce was bland. I think I'll stick to my old hot brown recipe.

Made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and it was perfect. The casserole was creamy and flavorful, and the Ritz cracker topping added a nice crunch.
