And now, for today's recipe:

This Ham, Potato, Turkey and Three Cheese Casserole is a delicious all-in-one meal that I came up with to make use of our leftover ham and turkey from the holidays. 
I combined sweet ham, turkey, potatoes, heavy cream and three kinds of cheese (American, cheddar and Parmesan) to make this as cheesy and creamy as my daughters want it to be, then I topped it with Panko bread crumbs for a crunchy finish. This is just so delicious not to mention so easy to prepare. You just have to combine all the ingredients, topped it with cheese sauce which you just have to whisk on the stove for a few minutes, then put it in the oven.

Comfort food at its finest is what this is! You should really give this a try! This also works well with chicken or with just plain ham or sausage...

Ingredients:
*Serves 6-8
  • 1 cup sweet ham, diced
  • 2 ½ cups turkey, diced or flaked
  • 3 cups potatoes, sliced
  • 1 medium sized yellow onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup butter 
  • 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste


Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Layer turkey, ham, potato slices and sliced onion in a casserole dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.
3. In a saucepan over medium low heat, melt the butter then whisk the Velveeta and cheddar cheese, milk, heavy cream and garlic powder until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Pour and spread it evenly over the meat, potatoes and onions.  

4. Cover the casserole with a glass lid or foil. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove the cover. Sprinkle with panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 more minutes or until golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

  13. Congrats on the blog awards, many of them, Tina!! I don't make casserole as much since someone (my husband) is not that into it (BOO!). I'd love to come over and have some at your home. ;-) It's a wonderful way to use leftover and it doesn't look like leftover at all!

    Congrats on getting 9 for yourself :D That is a huge achievement indeed! Truly well deserved.
    I love this casserole! Can you believe I had a ham I'd forgotten to serve up on Christmas? That was the joke of the year at the end of that evening. There were just too much food and I guess it was just as well I forgot about it. Now this is a great way to use it up ... not too fussy as well.

  21. Congrats on the awards received so far Tina and thank you for forwarding one of it to me but sorry to say I don't such awards and to be honest, it does not interest me. Hope you understand.

    As for the recipe, I think I will leave out the ham and turkey. I want to try a vegetarian version of it with the rest of the ingredients and oh my! the 3 combination of cheese will be great because your pics says it all. Thanks for sharing.
