Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups basmati rice yields 6 cups cooked
  • 4 cups peeled and diced sweet potato
  • 1 red onion minced
  • 10 slices bacon
  • 2 - 3 cups yogurt or sub in some sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups cheese Parmesan or Mozzarella are great (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 cups cooked, diced turkey

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the rice using your favourite method.
  • While the rice is cooking, roast the sweet potato and onions in the oven with a drizzle of oil. Bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Alternatively, you can air fry them 350°F for about 20 minutes with no oil.
  • While the rice and potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon until crispy and cut into small pieces.
  • Mix the yogurt, cheese (reserving ½ cup to top the casserole), and seasonings in a large bowl. Add in the turkey, stir to coat. Then add in the rice, potatoes, onions, and bacon, stirring to coat after each inclusion.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch pan and pour in the ingredients. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, until heated through. If you are starting with cold leftovers, you might need 5-10 more minutes.
  • Top the casserole with the remaining cheese and let bake until browned.

Notes

  • Use what ya got! Use sour cream for part of the yogurt. Use chicken instead of turkey. Some ham instead of bacon.
  • All ingredients are going into the casserole cooked. So feel free to sub any veggies or otherwise, as long as everything is already ready to eat.
