1977 Wild Rice Turkey Casserole & Fresh Apple Cake

Описание: Today on Vintage Cookbooks and Crafts, I will be making two recipes from my 1977 ‘Pillsbury’s Cookbook of Family Favorites’. Fresh Apple Cake; and Turkey and Wild Rice Casserole. I often make this casserole after Thanksgiving to use up leftover turkey.

Recipes ~

Turkey and Wild Rice Casserole (pg. 42)
½ cup (1 medium) chopped Onion
½ cup Butter or margarine
¼ cup Flour
6-oz. can sliced Mushrooms
Chicken Broth (added to liquid from mushrooms to make 2 cups)
1 ½ cups Half and Half or Light Cream
3 cups cooked cubed Turkey or Chicken
1 cup uncooked combination wild and regular Rice
2-oz jar Pimento, drained and chopped
2 Tablespoons Parsley Flakes
1 ½ teaspoons Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
½ cup slivered Almonds

Sauté onions in butter over low heat (do not brown). Blend in flour. Cook over low heat, stirring until mixture is bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in broth, mushroom liquid and half and half. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Add mushrooms, turkey, rice, pimento, parsley, salt and pepper. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole. Cover and bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Uncover; sprinkle with almonds. Bake 15 minutes longer until rice is tender.
8 servings.
TIP: Increase baking time 10 to 15 minutes if all wild rice is used.

NOTE: I use Uncle Ben’s Long Grain & Wild Rice that comes with a seasoning packet; and drastically reduce the Parsley and Salt called for in the recipe.
