Turkey and Green Chile Stuffing Casserole

Turkey and Green Chile Stuffing Casserole
Recipe Tip
Iron is Important
Turkey and other protein is a source of iron. Iron helps build red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body.
Substitution
An 11-oz can of Green Giant® Niblets® whole kernel corn can be used instead of the frozen corn. It's OK that the amount is a little over the 1 cup.
Success
Covering the dish while cooking helps thoroughly cook the turkey and keep it moist. Uncovering for the last 10 minutes will lightly brown and dry the top so it's more attractive.
Let's talk about turkey! Turkey breast is a lean protein source that keeps skin, cell membranes and muscles healthy. From eatbetteramerica.

Made with Pork Chops
I loved the corn in the stuffing. I sauteed some pork chops (just a minute on each side) and then threw in the over for 15 minutes. Saved lots of time :)
