If cooking a complete turkey dinner with all the fixings is intimidating or doesn’t fit your schedule, consider preparing Gobbler Cobbler. It’s a complete meal, featuring turkey, rice and green beans. The recipe is also good for using left-over turkey, and it can be prepared with chicken. The dish can be prepared, frozen and cooked later.
Ingredients:
1 package long-grain wild rice (I used Uncle Ben’s Original Recipe)
1 medium onion, diced
1 small package fresh sliced mushrooms
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 can French-style green beans, drained
3 cups cooked turkey or chicken
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1 small can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 cup sour cream
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (use one)
1 egg, beaten
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the rice according to package instructions and set aside. Sauté onions and mushrooms in oil and set aside.
Combine all ingredients, except 1 cup of cheese and the pie crust, into a large bowl and mix well. Pour mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese and set aside.
Roll out one pie crust and cut ½-inch wide strips and cover dish in lattice design, then brush dough lightly with egg.
Bake in 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes, until top is golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy.
