This recipe is a classic favorite in our household! This might have a few different ingredients in it, but the principle behind the dish is the same. It’s a hearty dish that everyone in my family loves just because it’s made with all of our favorite things in a recipe. Our friend over at Food For My Family has this to say about this recipe:
“Even if I may not be a casserole fan for 85 96.75 percent of the year, the cold weather has me craving creamy mushrooms and wild rice all baked together into a belly-warming dish of deliciousness.”
Creamy recipes are perfect for the cold weather. It’s the thickness in it. It gives you more warmth than regular sauces. I love anything creamy with a few slices of my favorite crusty bread and with a glass of cold lemonade just to cleanse the palate.
Ingredients
1 cup Great Value uncooked rice
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 can Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
1 cup Borden milk
1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon McCormick black pepper
8 ounces Green Giant sliced mushrooms
1 cup asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces (can substitute broccoli or other vegetable)
1 1/2 cups cooked turkey
3 tablespoons fresh herbs, minced
2 cups Schwebel’s bread cubes
3 tablespoons Bertolli extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350º F. In a 1-1/2- or 2-quart baking dish mix uncooked rice and boiling water.
Add cream of mushroom soup to a 2-cup measuring cup and fill to top with milk.
Add to the rice along with the white wine, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Stir in mushrooms, asparagus, turkey pieces and herbs. If the liquid does not cover the rice mixture, add a bit more white wine just so it is covered and stir it in.
Drizzle olive oil over bread cubes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Toss to coat and set aside.
Bake covered at 350º F for 45 minutes.
Top with bread cubes and bake an additional 20 minutes uncovered. Test rice to make sure it is tender. Remote from oven and let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Quick Tip: You want to make sure all the rice and vegetables are under liquid. If you need more liquid, add just a bit more white wine or milk to cover them up.
