Leftover Casserole

In your dish add 9 ounces of turkey or chicken and 2 cups of fresh or thawed broccoli.

In a bowl, add in and mix together 1/2 can of cream of chicken, 1 container of plain fat free Greek yogurt (great substitute for sour cream), and 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese.

Spread that over your broccoli layer and take out another bowl. In that bowl, mix together 1/2 package of stuffing and 1/2 cup of hot water.

Spread that over the top of your casserole and top it with anything else you want on it like bacon bits and/or hot sauce.
