Turkey Alfredo Casserole

Turkey Alfredo Casserole
The best thing about holiday meals is leftovers. The worst thing about holiday meals is figuring out what to do with them. Here’s a delicious solution! And it is easier than it looks. You know I love easy-peasy, so I use frozen veggies to save time. I also start early - let the spinach drain while I do other things. I grate the gruyere in a food processor.
