Description
Need an effortless, stick-to-your-ribs meal? This crockpot recipe blends tangy cheddar with salty turkey turkey ham and silky cream of chicken soup, ensuring perfectly tender potatoes every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs turkey turkey ham, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
- 4–5 large Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced or cubed
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Step 2: Gently fold the diced turkey turkey ham, diced yellow onion, and the sliced potatoes into the creamy mixture, ensuring all the potato slices are well coated.
- Step 3: Transfer the entire mixture into a 6-quart slow cooker that has been lightly greased or lined. Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 3.5 hours, until the potatoes are completely tender.
- Step 4: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Replace the lid and allow the cheese to melt fully before serving.
Notes
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; for best texture, ensure they are stored in a shallow, airtight container to cool down quickly.
- When reheating leftovers in the microwave or oven, add a tablespoon of milk or water to the portion to prevent the potatoes and sauce from drying out.
- Balance the richness of this casserole by serving it with a light, vinegary coleslaw or a fresh green salad to provide a pleasant contrast in texture and flavor.
- Since turkey turkey ham is often high in sodium, be cautious when adding salt in Step 1; instead, lean heavily on the black pepper and thyme for a deeper savory profile.
