1
Stuffing Layer -- In a medium NON stick skillet on medium heat, add the bacon and start to render down.
-
2
Cook just a minute until it gives off some drippings and then add the onion and mushrooms and cook about 3 minutes.
-
3
You want the bacon to be mostly done and the onion and mushrooms to slightly soften.
-
4
Remove to the side while you make the stuffing.
-
5
Stuffing -- In a large bowl, add the stuffing mix, chicken broth and add in the mushrooms, onions and bacon.
-
6
Casserole -- Spread the stuffing and vegetables in a 13x9 casserole dish sprayed with Pam or a non stick spray.
-
7
Turkey -- No hopefully you removed the turkey to let it come to room temperature Never cook or bake any meat that has a chill.
-
8
In a small bowl or dish add the thyme, salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper and rub over the turkey which you have brushed with olive oil.
-
9
Casserole Layers 2 and 3 -- Top the stuffing mixture with the thawed squash mixture, just spread on top.

10
Then top the squash with spoons of the cranberry sauce and lightly spread over the squash.
-
11
Then top everything with the turkey and slightly press down into the casserole.
-
12
Bake -- Cover with foil and bake on 350 for about 45 minutes.
-
13
Then uncover and then add the turkey gravy on top of the turkey breasts and cook another 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
-
14
Serving -- If you have extra turkey gravy you can heat up and serve as a garnish.
-
15
I usually use about 1/2 on the turkey in the casserole and 1/2 left as the garnish.
-
16
Remove the turkey breasts, thin slice on a angle and then replace back over the casserole to serve.
-
17
Then everyone can just help themselves.
-
18
Turkey, stuffing, fresh vegetables, cranberry sauce, gravy, which is all the Turkey Day Favorites.

19
This is just a great casserole.
-
20
I won't admit that it is quick, but it is easy.
-
21
Pretty much store bought ingredients.
-
22
You do need to slice a onion but I think you could handle that.
-

It feeds 6 and it is a hearty comfort food meal, and while it cooks it gives you time to make a nice salad or enjoy your family.
