Imagine Roasted Turkey, Stuffing and Green Bean Casserole all rolled into one. It may sound odd, but the results last night were SO good. This recipe reminds me of "Impossible Pie"s which use a certain "convenience" product...which I don't use, but have fond memories of growing up.
Turkey & Vegetable "Thanksgiving" Casserole
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
16 oz. ground turkey
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1 c. chicken stock
1 c. chopped fresh green beans
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs
1/2 c. skim milk
1 T. light olive oil
1/2 c. fried onions (Durkee)
Preheat oven to 350. Saute onion, carrot and celery in 1 T. butter or oil until slightly softened. Add ground turkey and seasonings. Cook and and stir until meat is browned. Add the chicken stock and green beans and cook until liquid has evaporated and beans are cooked. Remove from the heat and mix in 1 T. of parsley. Turn meat mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In a small small whisk together the eggs, milk,oil and remaining parsley. Mix wet into the dry mixture. Pour evenly over meat mixture. Sprinkle with fried onions. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden.
Yum.
