Crockpot Cheesy Turkey Casserole

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Copycat Recipe!

I’m cheating today and don’t actually have a copycat recipe for you, so here’s a picture of my cat instead. :O

(I didn’t have time to make what I’d planned on making. Part of this has to do with the fact that I’m going home(!!!) in a little over a week and am diligently trying to eat every perishable substance in the fridge right now, so buying more groceries isn’t the greatest idea!)

It's been super cold lately so the muffin has decided it's a good idea to cuddle with me. :]

Thus, I am instead continuing my usual mission of trying to use up everything I have in the apartment…and the plus side to this is that you can make this sucker in bulk in your crockpot and have delicious meals ready to go for the rest of the week!

I packed the leftovers into 6 mason jars and topped em’ off with spinach for a healthy and easy portable meal that I could bring with me to the hospital!If you recall #CookoutWeek on my blog, you might recall one of the sponsors, Swine Dining! I backed their kickstarter since I’d heard so many awesome things about their spice rubs/seasonings, so I’ve been experimenting with em’ and here’s my first creation!

I like to think I’ve become less of a picky eater as the years have gone by (I was never all that picky, but back in the day, if I’d heard the words, “cheesy” in relation to a food/recipe, there’d be no way I’d partake in whatever it was.) This Crockpot Cheesy Turkey Casserole is super delicious to warm up with on a cold night! :]

  1. You had me at crockpot! Although I had a major crockpot fail on Wednesday. I prepped a chicken dish in it prior to leaving for work, set it on low, and dreamed about the yummy dinner waiting for us later that night. We came home and I knew right away dinner was ruined. It totally burnt! Usually you can’t go wrong with a crockpot. Lol…I did!

    1. Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! I’ve unfortunately had a couple crockpot mishaps before too (mostly when I tried to “bake” something in it–sigh). You’re not alone, I promise! :P

  2. Cheating or not, you can’t go wrong with the slow cooker ;) I miss mine!!! It’s been months now :(

    1. Aw man! I’m glad you get to be reunited with it soon!? I don’t have a crockpot at home-home, so I only get to use mine when I’m out here! :P

  3. I love anything I can throw in my crockpot. And I always play the clean out the fridge game before we travel too. Usually it’s always something with eggs.

    1. Same here!! I just finished off alllmost the last of my eggs! (Just one left, haha.) I like to think I’m doing semi-well on this whole clean-out-the-fridge crusade!

  4. Yaaas to crockpot meals!!! They’re amazing in the winter!
    Annmarie recently posted…Healthy Smoothies That Taste Like Holiday CookiesMy Profile

    1. Agreed! There’s nothing quite like em’! :D

  5. Crockpot meals are one of my favorite, especially tortilla soup, which this looks to be very similar to!
    Emily recently posted…Why I’m Thankful for the Food Blogger And Recent Recover StrugglesMy Profile

    1. Ooo, I’ve never tried making tortilla soup, but that’s definitely going to have to go on my to-do list!

  6. This is my kinda recipe! Throw in all the good stuff and let it go ;)

    1. haha, yes indeed! I love “lazy” recipes! :]

      haha, I wish I still had the ingredients to make another vat of this! I need provisions for this week! ;_;

  8. Exciting that you get to go home. Chili is so comforting this time of year!

    1. I’m super excited to see my friends/family again! :]

      Definitely agreed! :P I’m going to have to make more of it when I’m back!

    1. Forreals! I’m so glad I decided to get one a couple years back! Can’t wait to see the recipes you come up with! :D!?

  11. I’m a huge fan of crockpot meals. Growing up my Mother would fill and set the crockpot when we arrived home from school, the house was full of savoy flavors dancing in the air tempting my sister and me to devour dinner right then and there I bet you are excited to go home, Farrah!

    1. Crockpot meals are the best! :P We never had a crockpot when I was growing up so it definitely was an awesome discovery over the past couple years! :P That sounds amazing though–did you have a favorite dish?

  16. This looks yummy. I make something similar to this but without the potatoes and I use chicken. I like using my slow cooker because the meat is so tender. I’ll be posting my slow cooker pulled pork tenderloin soon.

    1. Gotta love slow cooker recipes!! :D! I also love how it makes the meat super tender with pretty much zero effort involved! :P
