Instructions to make Turkey And Quinoa Casserole:

  3. Set turkey aside.
  4. In same pan add the oil and flour. Whisk until incorporated and cook 2 minutes.
  5. Whisk in milk and raise heat to medium high. Continuously whisk until a smooth thick sauce is achieved. Add in all the spices.
  6. Lower heat to medium, stir in swiss cheese. Since I like fresh cheeses, I buy baby swiss from the deli counter at my grocers. Then I place all the slices on top of each other and cut them into thin slices.
  7. Stir in quinoa, turkey and vegetables. Mix well to combine.
  8. Now, you can make one large 9x13 dish or two 8x8 dishes. Use one now and freeze the other. I'm now making one large 9x13 dish.
  9. So in a 9x13 baking dish add the quinoa mixture. Bake at 350°F fahrenheit for 20 minutes, covered. Then, uncover, sprinkle cheese on top and cook another 10 minutes.
  10. To freeze the smaller dish, once you add quinoa mixture into dish let it cool. You will not do the baking process yet. Once cooled, cover tightly and freeze. To cook, place dish from freezer into a cold oven. Turn oven on to the 350°F. Lightly cover with tin foil. Bake 40 minutes. Uncover. Now add the shredded mozzarella and bake an additional 10 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

If I'm being totally honest, growing up, I was NOT a fan of casseroles. Pour the cheesy quinoa turkey mixture into the prepared casserole pan and smooth out. Tuck the brussel sprouts around the top, then sprinkle with the crumb mixture and the reserved bacon.
