'Holiday casserole star'—Just 4 ingredients. I whip this together when I want festive flavor without the fuss.

This cranberry turkey spinach casserole is a delightful dish that combines the flavors of Thanksgiving in a simple way. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or a potluck with friends, it's a great way to use up leftover turkey or to enjoy turkey in a new form. The tartness of the cranberries pairs beautifully with the savory turkey and the fresh taste of spinach, making it a comforting and wholesome meal.

This casserole pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted sweet potatoes or a fresh garden salad. For a heartier meal, serve it with warm dinner rolls or a side of creamy mashed potatoes. A crisp, chilled glass of apple cider on the side can really bring out the flavors of the cranberries.

Servings: 4

2 cups cooked turkey, shredded

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, chopped spinach, cranberry sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese.

3. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

4. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

If you have picky eaters, you can swap the spinach for kale or omit it altogether. For added flavor, sprinkle some chopped walnuts or pecans on top before baking. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a half-cup of cream of mushroom soup to the mixture. For a vegetarian version, substitute the turkey with cooked quinoa or chickpeas.
