Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

02

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook celery at a boil until tender, 5 to 10 minutes; drain well.

03

Step

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and bell pepper in the melted butter until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk flour into the onion mixture until the butter and flour form a paste. Add mushroom soup, milk, and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.

04

Step

Mix turkey, celery, pimento peppers, almonds, and salt into mushroom soup mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish; top with bread crumbs and Cheddar cheese.

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and cheese is melted, 30 to 40 minutes.

For a richer flavor, use homemade bread crumbs.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack.
Add a splash of sherry or white wine to the mushroom sauce for extra depth of flavor.
