Turkey Greenbean Casserole

My good friend Jenny, over at Penny Pincher Jenny,  posted a recipe for Stove Top Casserole. I didn't have all of the ingredients she has, so I improved. I haven't eaten any, but Ed is taking it to work with him for dinner and is very pleased :) It is a good thing because he has another day left to eat it ;)

Ingredients:
1 14.5 oz can French Cut Green Beans
1 lb 91/9 ground turkey
1 packet Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix
1 box Betty Crocker Homestyle Chicken Stuffing
1/4 cup 2% shredded cheese blend.


Preheat oven to 350. Brown ground turkey in skillet. While turkey is browning, pour can of green beans into a mixing bowl and stir in the packet of the onion soup mix. Once the turkey is fully cooked, drain the liquid out of the green bean mixture, reserving for later use, and mix the green beans in with the ground turkey. (if you are worried about sodium content you can use more water and less bean juice, your call) Cook until green beans are heated through. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray and spread the dry stuffing mix evenly over the bottom. Top with the ground turkey and green beans. Measure reserved liquid and add enough water to make a total of 1 1/2 cup liquid. Drizzle over the top of the casserole as evenly as possible. Top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes or until heated through.
