This Turkey Florentine Recipe turns leftover turkey into a delicious casserole. Serve over buttered noodles or white rice for a comfort food meal.

A creamy sauce flavored with a little curry powder and some mushrooms and onions forms the base of the recipe. There’s also a little cheese. The turkey gets mixed into the sauce and then it is baked over chopped spinach.

Substitutions

Chicken can be used instead of turkey.

Any type of cheese can be used. Colby Jack is a nice mild cheese. You can use cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor or swiss cheese. Parmesan is also a good choice.

Leave the mushrooms out if you don’t like them.

For extra richness, use half-and-half in place of 1 cup of milk.

Turkey Florentine Recipe Tips
Be sure to squeeze most of the water out of the spinach so the dish won’t be watery.

The sauce should be thick, but if it is too thick, just add a little extra milk.

How To Make This Dish Spicy

If you wish to make this dish spicy, add 1/2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes.
