Everyone in my family loves this casserole, even my eighty-year-old grandparents who aren't big fans of Mexican food. Mild green chilies, tender cubes of turkey, tomatoes and lots of cheese make a mouthwatering filling.-Ann Herren, Pulaski, Tennessee

This Spanish rice and turkey casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had great flavor. I used ground chicken instead of turkey and it turned out just as well.
